Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. A growing number of adolescents arrive in the therapist's office beyond adult control. Their behavior is outrageous, they use drugs heavily, and their moods fluctuate wildly. Nothing seems to work. If they stay in treatment, they make a shambles of the process. If they terminate prematurely, therapists may feel they never really got hold of the case; worse, they are not sure how they could have done so. Therapists looking at their interactions with patients will usually notice distinct patterns. The out-of-control patient usually shows a preference for one of five pathological patterns: narcissism, masochism, the paranoid stance, the schizoid defense, and affective lability. This book studies the five patterns of interaction typical of out-of-control adolescents, showing therapists how to recognize each and introducing interventions to interrupt them. When patients are forced into new, less comfortable experiences of themselves and their therapists, more honest exchanges become possible and more conventional treatment approaches become feasible.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Explains the patient's identification in treatment with a significant other for purposes of mastering traumatic experiences. 'This book is a clear, constructive, and instructive treatment of an important observation. It is also an example of clinical sophistication of the very highest order.' DJeffrey J. Andresen 'A major strength of this book is that it addresses the difficult situations that arise in treatment when projection is at play. The difficult feelings aroused in the projective introjective interplay are explored and the therapist is cautioned repeatedly against using untimely interpretations rather than therapeutic containment and holding feelings `in reverie.' The patient needs the space to grow and Ogden is quite sensitive to this process.' DJanet Schumacher Finell A Jason Aronson Book.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Printing (Numerals Begin with 1). This book shows how to work successfully with emotional and behavioral problems rooted in deficient early attachments. In particular, it addresses the emotional difficulties of many of the foster and adopted children living in our country who are unable to form secure attachments. Traditional interventions, which do not teach parents how to successfully engage the child, frequently do not provide the means by which the seriously damaged child can form the secure attachment that underlies behavioral change. Dr. Daniel Hughes maps out a treatment plan designed to help the child begin to experience and accept, from both the therapist and the parents, affective attunement that he or she should have received in the first few years of life. Hughes' approach includes: -Using foster and adopted parents as co-therapists -Teaching differentiation between old and new parents -Overcoming the perception of discipline as abusive -Framing misbehavior, discipline, conflicts, and parental authority as important aspects of a child's learning to trust. All children, at the core of their beings, need to be attached to someone who considers them to be very special and who is committed to providing for their ongoing care. Children who lose their birth parents desperately need such a relationship if they are to heal and grow. This book shows therapists how to facilitate this crucial bond. A Jason Aronson Book.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Self psychology offers a new perception of how pathology develops. It emerges, not from intrapsychic conflict, but from the pervasive absence of empathically responsive selfobject in the child's inner and outer world. The goal of this book is to familiarize mental health professionals with this new approach to human behavior and demonstrate its implications for treatment in various stages of development and in a broad range of situations. Mental health professionals who are familiar with the concepts of self psychology will find this book useful in expanding their treatment ideas. For those who are unfamiliar with self psychology, this material will provide new, different, exciting, and effective ways of thinking about patients and intervening in the treatment relationship.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. In Immaterial Facts Dr. Caper shows how Melanie Klein's studies of sexuality, aggression, unconscious phantasy and identification in children both extended and corrected Freud's theories of the early development of the superego and the early stages of the Oedipus complex in both boys and girls." "Klein's development of Freud's work has allowed psychoanalysts not only to achieve deeper and more stable therapeutic results with neurotic patients, but also to begin to extend the therapeutic scope of psychoanalysis into the area of more severe emotional disturbances. Immaterial Facts will prove useful both to professionals and students interested in the treatment of emotional disturbances and the functioning of the mind.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. The practice of observing therapeutic confidentiality is so riddled with exceptions that it has all but disappeared. This book lucidly describes the disappearance of privacy, showing how the clinical effect of this loss has been destructive and how mental health professionals may respond constructively.--The New England Journal of MedicineThe authors, a therapist and a lawyer, document the erosion of psychotherapist-patient confidentiality caused by the reporting laws, by the requirements of managed care, and by other features of the contemporary culture of disclosure. They analyze the failure of organized psychology, psychiatry, and social work to sound the alarm about such invasions, a failure especially perplexing in light of judicial sympathy for the psychotherapist-patient privilege. To the authors, psychotherapy without confidentiality is impossible. They propose important remedies for this clinical and ethical disaster.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. 1991 Edition. Various psychological approaches possess differential effectiveness in bringing into focus different aspects of the human developmental experience. The major psychological schools can thus be viewed as "Listening Perspectives" for grasping unique and private experience which is, to a greater or lesser extent, characteristic of various levels or stages of development of the human relatedness potential. This book illustrates four distinctly different styles of listening that have emerged in psychoanalysis. It will survey the contributions of many and explore the possibilities of each Listening Perspective as a separate mode of psychoanalytic inquiry.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. When Bowen was a student and practitioner of classical psychoanalysis at the Menninger Clinic, he became engrossed in understanding the process of schizophrenia and its relationship to mother-child symbiosis. Between the years 1950 and 1959, at Menninger and later at the National Institute of Mental Health (as first chief of family studies), he worked clinically with over 500 schizophrenic families. This extensive experience was a time of fruition for his thinking as he began to conceptualize human behavior as emerging from within the context of a family system. Later, at Georgetown University Medical School, Bowen worked to extend the application of his ideas to the neurotic family system. Initially he saw his work as an amplification and modification of Freudian theory, but later viewed it as an evolutionary step toward understanding human beings as functioning within their primary network-their family. One of the most renowned theorist and therapist in the field of family work, this book encompasses the breadth and depth of Bowen's contributions. It presents the evolution of Bowen's Family Theory from his earliest essays on schizophrenic families and their treatment, through the development of his concepts of triangulation, intergenerational conflict and societal regression, and culminating in his brilliant exploration of the differentiation of one's self in one's family of origin.

With the unmistakable authority of a clinician, Dan Hughes builds a stirring story around the composite figure of Katie-a fragmented, tormented, isolated little girl in foster care whose terror, shame, rage and despair drive her to deeds like lacing the family hamburger with her own feces-in order to expose the tragedy of the attachment-impaired child.The author also affirms and demonstrates the possibility of transformative intervention. Allison is the confident, compassionate, and controversial therapist who diagnoses and treats Katie's profound attachment disorder. Jackie is the therapeutic foster mother who fights to create a lasting bond with Katie by applying Allison's blend of affective attunement and effective discipline.Dr. Hughes speaks in both popular and clinical voices as he animates Katie's demoralizing but eventually reparative odyssey through more homes than any child should have to live in, drawing on his decades of experience with foster and adopted youngsters, their families, and the professionals who support them. Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply Troubled Children is richly webbed with commentary on the dynamics of that odyssey, and also on the separate and tandem roles of case manager, therapist, and parent-surrogate.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Self and Others is addressed to students and practitioners of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Its 19 chapters are divided into five evenly balanced parts. The first rubric, 'Self, Others, and Ego,' introduces us to the units of the intersubjective constitution we have come to know as object relations theory. The second rubric, 'Developing Object Relations,' is a confluence of lessons derived from infant studies and the psychotherapeutic process, specifically from the work of Mahler and Kernberg. Third, Hamilton integrates into an 'Object Relations Continuum' Mahler's developmental stages and organizational series with nosological entities and levels of personality organization. Under the penultimate rubric, 'Treatment,' levels of object relatedness and types of psychopathology are grounded in considerations of technique in treatment, and generous clinical vignettes are provided to illustrate the technical issues cited. Last, the rubric of 'Broader Contexts' takes object relations theory out of the consulting room into application areas that include folklore, myth, and transformative themes on the self, small and large groups, applications of object relations theory outside psychoanalysis, and the evolutionary history and politics of object relations theory. This volume thus presents an integrative theory of object relations that links theory with practice. But, more than that, Hamilton accomplishes his objective of delineating an integrative theory that is quite free of rivalry between schools of thought. An indispensable contribution to beginning psychoanalytic candidates and other practitioners as well as those who wish to see the application of object relations theories to fields outside of psychoanalysis. --Psychoanalytic Books: A Quarterly Journal of Reviews A Jason Aronson Book.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. This fine volume is exactly what it sounds like: an extended discussion of the features that make Judaism unique. If you're interested in this topic and if this book ever returns to print, buy it at once -- and in the meantime, pick up a used copy.Abba Hillel Silver (an American Reform rabbi probably best known for his staunch support of Zionism when it wasn't fashionable) takes the reader on a grand tour of Judaism's distinguishing features, comparing it not only with Christianity but also with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism where these are relevant. Mainly, though, this volume is a positive portrait of what Judaism has historically stood for.

His entire treatment method is set forth in six steps that reflect the patient's actual sequential experience in the therapeutic process. Unlike many therapists who write about therapy approaches, Volkman presents his work with nine psychosis-prone borderline patients who underwent his specific treatment plan, as well as a detailed account of a six-year, seven-month analysis of Pattie, which the author described as a "long journey into an intrapsychic world".

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 0. This book demonstrates that both interpreting and holding are necessary in the psychotherapy of clinical disorders. There is a tendency to view interpreting and holding as mutually exclusive techniques. This either/or position is the result of theories that view patients as suffering either from deficits in early nurturing object relations or conflicts around dependence and independence. Dr. Seinfeld does not believe that deficit states and conflict states are mutually exclusive but rather that most patients suffer from both. This book illustrates how the clinician can utilize both holding and interpretation.Dr. Seinfeld describes how the therapist interprets psychoneurotic symptoms and oedipal conflicts on an object relations basis, and how to interpret splitting and projective identification and the patient's tie to bad objects. Many patients suffer from dependence on objects that frustrate and reject them. This book discusses how the clinician addresses the patient's destructive relationships. The reader is also shown how to recognize and interpret manifestations of the true and false self in patients' dreams, phantasies, and the therapeutic relationship.No matter how accurate and convincing the therapist's interpretations are, this strategy alone will foster neither the emergence of the fragile true self nor the patient's separation from bad objects. The therapist must also provide holding as a good-enough object for the patient to take such frightening risks. The therapist is shown how to hold the patient through exploring early abuse and neglect, being available as a constant object, and creating a potential space for therapeutic transitional play.Dr. Seinfeld is primarily influenced by Ronald Fairbairn, Donald Winnicott, and Harry Guntrip, but the book also describes the object relations dimension in the classical theories of Freud, Abraham, and Klein, as well as Ferenczi's original contribution to holding. Psychotherapists will find this work extremely useful clinically since it describes the evolution of interpretation and holding and shows how to integrate both strategies in clinical practice.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. This volume is written by the most prominent contributors to the current understanding and treatment of anorexia, bulimia, and obesity. It details the techniques that can resolve these patients' strong defenses against the acknowledgment of their underlying conflicts, and it provides an understanding of the psychodynamic structure of the various personality disorders that are masked by eating disorder symptoms.Eating disorders are symptom complexes that occur in a variety of character disorders: hysterical, obsessive-compulsive, borderline, and--in some cases--psychotic conditions. The major problem for the psychotherapist is that these patients do not readily seek treatment, and if they do, they want a resolution of the symptom rather than a comprehensive approach to the underlying personality disorder. As the conflicts underlying the symptoms are analyzed, a variety of affects emerge, particularly those of depression. It is the handling of these affects that is crucial to therapeutic success.The authors explore the nature of object relations in a wide range of diagnostic categories, including neurotic compulsive eating, restrictor and bulimic anorexia nervosa, obesity, and rumination. Special therapeutic problems are detailed, such as severe regressive symptomatology, the use of medication, hospitalization, and countertransference. The authors deal with preverbal and early verbal communication, separation-individuation, the underlying impulse disorder, part-object relations, and projective identification.This book demonstrates that a psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on the underlying neurotic conflicts can result in normal eating and psychic health. It is an important resource for every mental health professional called on to treat these difficult but rewarding patients.
