Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Learning to Listen from Multiple Perspectives

7 reviews
Jon Frederickson

Routledge, 1998

excellent, concise, fills needed gap in clinical literature.
This book fills a needed gap in clinical literature on psychodynamic treatment. Too often, beginning therapists introduced to psychdynamic and psychoanalytic techniques and concepts are exposed to a multiplicity of complex theories that do not adequately serve as guides to facilitating their work. This book makes an important departure from this trend by focusing solely on some of the ...

Long-term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text

7 reviews
Glen O. Gabbard

American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2010

Well-written, concise and crystal clear
This is a an expensive, but really great book on long-term psychodynamic therapy which is often used to treat borderline personality disorders and other conditions that are more serious than the everyday problems of the average person. It is actually a short book only being 210 pages. However, it covers a lot of ground and does it in a way that is easy to read. It introduces key concepts ...

The Supervisory Relationship: A Contemporary Psychodynamic Approach

1 review
Mary Gail Frawley-O'Dea, Joan E. Sarnat

The Guilford Press, 2000

The Supervisory Relationship
Drs Sarnat and Frawley-O'Dea have made an original contribution to the literature of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Their discussion of the contemporary supervisory relationship is rich and alive, reaching back and forth between the dyads of supervisor/supervisee, supervisee/patient and supervisee/analyst, and seeing parallels and counterpoints in all of these. I found it particularly useful ...

Psychodynamic Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia

The Guilford Press, 1990

Early treatment literature on anorexia nervosa and bulimia reported almost exclusively on brief treatment approaches that entailed either psychopharmacological or cognitive-behavioral interventions. While this literature demonstrated that one-third of these patients were treatable with brief therapy and another one third showed improvement, the final one-third of these patients did not respond to brief interventions. Recent research indicates ...

Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual: (PDM)

14 reviews
Alliance of Psychoanalytic Organizations

Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual, 2006

Surprising Here and There... and Well Worth the Price of Admission
I am not essentially a psychodynamicist (though I have written extensively on the Karpman Drama Triangle, codependence, and family of origin issues in the addictions.) I am fundamentally a cognitivist, and a rational-emotive one at that. Yet I found the PDM extremely enlightening and worthwhile, at least through the first 650 pages. Rather than approach the topic as "better or worse than the ...

Psychodynamic Therapy: A Guide to Evidence-Based Practice

2 reviews
Richard F. Summers MD, Jacques P. Barber PhD ABPP

The Guilford Press, 2009

Lucid, well integrated contemporary approach
Congratulations and kudos to Dr. Summers and Dr. Barber for their lucid and up to date text. They have swept away many cobwebs from outmoded notions of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. They present a contemporary, pluralistic, and humanistic vision, firmly rooted in a biopsychosocial model. The authors integrate contemporary and traditional psychoanalytic models with cognitive behavioral, ...

Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice (4th Edition)

9 reviews
Glen O. Gabbard

American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2005

Practical emphasis on empirical validation
I teach those evil, mean behavioral and cognitive courses that all of you hate. Bwaaahahahahaaaaah. Even so... Add me to the list of people who heartily endorse this new edition of a classic. I use it as a teaching tool and as a reference, and clinical psychology students generally rave about it. A book like this one is essential at a time when psychodynamic approaches are fighting for ...

2 reviews
Toni Vaughn Heineman

The Guilford Press, 1998

A state of the art book on child abuse that is a must-read
As a developmental and clinical psychologist, this book has been invaluable to me in helping me make sense of the physical, psychological, social and legal facets of treating children who have suffered abuse. Dr. Heineman far surpasses any expert I have yet read or encountered in the field in terms of both her empathic clinical understanding and theoretical sophistication in the treatment of ...

The importance of conducting empirical research for the future of psychodynamics is presented in this excellent new volume. In Handbook of Evidence Based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice , the editors provide evidence that supports this type of research for two primary reasons. The first reason concerns the current marginalization of psychodynamic work within the mental health field. Sound empirical ...

Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics (Hodder Arnold Publication)

2 reviews
David H. Malan

A Hodder Arnold Publication, 1995

A must-have for psychodynamic psychotherapists
Dr. Malan's work is an excellent description of how to approach a client from a psychodynamic perspective. Building from some basic dynamic patterns (Oedipal etc) Malan shows how common presenting issues are driven by unconscious processes. Malan relies on a model which incorporates the triangles of person and conflict (reminicent of Menninger's work in the 50's). This model provides a visual ...

How to Practice Brief Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme Method

3 reviews
Howard E., M.D. Book

American Psychological Association (APA), 1998

Very worthwhile publication
I enjoyed this book immensely. It was refreshing to note that the "brief psychodynamic" perspective detailed by Book did not refer at all to the Freudian model of the psyche (id - ego - superego). Indeed the model presented could as easily have been termed "interpersonal relationship therapy", as there was little to betray its psychodynamic roots. Book had no need for the traditional ...
