"It is not the diagnosis that drives the treatment but the conceptualization of the idiosyncratic attributes of the presenting case. As such, one must go beyond diagnosis if the goal is to truly understand the psychopathology in front of your eyes in order to be in a position to provide the proper intervention. With this distinction between formulation and diagnosis, the present volume highlights the former. And there is no person better suited to bring this approach to you today than Michael Bruch, who not only practices, teaches and supervises others along these lines in London and elsewhere, but has devoted his entire career to evolving Vic's approach to clinical phenomena. The reader will find this second edition of Beyond Diagnosis to be a most welcome addition to the clinical psychology literature"
