Download or read book Principles Of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy written by Lester Luborsky and published by . This book was released on 1984-06-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this splendid book a master psychotherapist, one of the field's most respected researchers, provides the first definitive account of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in manual format. What distinguishes this book from other guides to therapy is the way in which the author systematically demystifies the therapeutic process, taking the reader step by step through a sequence of specific intervention strategies.The book offers the essence of psychoanalytic psychotherapy by extracting the treatment principles from Freud's six papers on technique and the Menninger Foundation tradition of supportive-expressive psychotherapy. At the heart of the expressive techniques is the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme method of delineating the transference pattern and providing a focus for the therapist's responses. Both the short-term and the usual open-ended treatment are presented. Each technique is illustrated by clinical vignettes. Precise measurement scales for each technique make it easy to evaluate the therapist's performance. Therapists, clinical supervisors, and researchers will all find this book to be a valuable source of practical information and inspiration.
Download or read book From Social Class to Social Stress written by Matthias C. Angermeyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The association between social class and psychiatric disorder has been one of the central topics of socio-epidemiological research since its inception. With remarkable consistency, numerous investigations have demonstrated an inverse correlation between social class and prevalence rates for most forms of psychopathology. The debate on the interpreta tion of these findings - social causation versus social selection processes - continues to this day. Moreover, the question as to what the psychoso cial processes are through which social class and individual psychopa thology are mediated has remained mostly unanswered. The concept of social stress may well provide new insights in this regard. One should note, in particular, the considerable conceptual and methodological progress made in life event research. Recently, the first attempts have been made to link the two concepts of social class and social stress. These developments will be retraced in this book in the light of new investigations. Descriptive epidemiological studies on the relation between social class and psychiatric disorders form the point of depar ture. Explicit reference is made to two classical studies in psychiatric epidemiology: Faris and Dunham's Chicago study and the New Haven study by Hollingshead and Redlich. Following on from there, various approaches in analytical epidemiological research are presented which attempt to determine whether - or, more precisely, to what extent - social causation or social selection processes can be said to be responsible for the higher rates of psychiatric disorders in lower social strata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual presents an evidence-based focal psychodynamic approach for the outpatient treatment of adults with anorexia nervosa, which has been shown to produce lasting changes for patients. The reader first gains a thorough understanding of the general models and theories of anorexia nervosa. The book then describes in detail a three-phase treatment using focal psychodynamic psychotherapy. It provides extensive hands-on tips, including precise assessment of psychodynamic themes and structures using the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) system, real-life case studies, and clinical pearls. Clinicians also learn how to identify and treat typical ego structural deficits in the areas of affect experience and differentiation, impulse control, self-worth regulation, and body perception. Detailed case vignettes provide deepened insight into the therapeutic process. A final chapter explores the extensive empirical studies on which this manual is based, in particular the renowned multicenter ANTOP study. Printable tools in the appendices can be used in daily practice. This book is of interest to clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, counselors, and students.
Download or read book Transference Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder written by Frank E. Yeomans and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide presents a model of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and its treatment that is based on contemporary psychoanalytic object relations theory as developed by the leading thinker in the field, Otto Kernberg, M.D., who is also one of the authors of this insightful manual. The model is supported and enhanced by material on current phenomenological and neurobiological research and is grounded in real-world cases that deftly illustrate principles of intervention in ways that mental health professionals can use with their patients. The book first provides clinicians with a model of borderline pathology that is essential for expert assessment and treatment planning and then addresses the empirical underpinnings and specific therapeutic strategies of transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP). From the chapter on clinical assessment, the clinician learns how to select the type of treatment on the basis of the level of personality organization, the symptoms the patient experiences, and the areas of compromised functioning. In order to decide on the type of treatment, the clinician must examine the patient's subjective experience (such as symptoms of anxiety or depression), observable behaviors (such as investments in relationships and deficits in functioning), and psychological structures (such as identity, defenses, and reality testing). Next, the clinician learns to establish the conditions of treatment through negotiating a verbal treatment contract or understanding with the patient. The contract defines the responsibilities of each of the participants and defines what the reality of the therapeutic relationship is. Techniques of treatment interventions and tactics to address particularly difficult clinical challenges are addressed next, equipping the therapist to employ the four primary techniques of TFP (interpretation, transference analysis, technical neutrality, and use of countertransference) and setting the stage for and guiding the proper use of those techniques within the individual session. What to expect in the course of long-term treatment to ameliorate symptoms and to effect personality change is covered, with sections on the early, middle, and late phases of treatment. This material prepares the clinician to deal with predictable phases, such as tests of the frame, impulse containment, movement toward integration, episodes of regression, and termination. Finally, the text is accompanied by supremely instructive online videos that demonstrate a variety of clinical situations, helping the clinician with assessment and modeling critical therapeutic strategies. The book recognizes that each BPD patient presents a unique treatment challenge. Grounded in the latest research and rich with clinical insight, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide will prove indispensable to mental health professionals seeking to provide thoughtful, effective care to these patients.

Book excerpt: Integrative psychotherapy: using the principles of dynamic complex systems toguide everyday clinical work. This book introduces a new, integrative, systemic approach to psychotherapy andcounseling and shows how the principles of dynamic complex systems can guideeveryday clinical work.Our mental, interpersonal, and biological (e.g., neuronal) systems are complex andnonlinear, and allow spontaneous pattern formation and chaotic dynamics. Theirself-organizing nature sometimes maneuvers the systems into pathological states.However, the very same principles can be utilized therapeutically to encouragechange for the better. The feedback-driven nonlinear dynamic systems approachdescribed here basically attempts to facilitate positive self-organizing processes,such as order transitions, healthy patterns of behavior, and learning processes.In addition to describing the theory and evidence supporting the feedback-drivennonlinear dynamic systems approach, the authors use an extensive case study toillustrate how the principles of dynamic complex systems can guide everyday clinicalwork. They show how modeling and monitoring of the client's systems and anempirical description of its patterns allows the therapist to individually fine-tunetherapeutic techniques to support the client's progress. Fine-meshed feedbackbased on real-time data and time-series analysis is at the core of the approach, andso an internet-based monitoring system - the Synergetic Navigation System (SNS)- that helps capture dynamic processes and guide practitioners' therapeutic decisionsis also described.

Download or read book Micro Meso Macro Addressing Complex Systems Couplings written by Hans Liljenstrom and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-05-03 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the domain of science concerned with systems structure and behavior, the issue of the relationship between the micro and the macro level is of key importance. This book concentrates on the interplay between these levels and has a special focus on the level “in between” — the meso level.An investigation of those links is made through a number of cases from different domains of science, including physics, chemistry, ecology, social science, economics and technology. What is evident is that there are facets regarding meso-level issues that are similar between cases, but also that the domains differ in various ways. This is particularly exemplified by the differences in perspectives from which the natural and social sciences deal with scaling issues. The various examples provided in this book mirror its overriding theme: systems complexity.
Download or read book Transformative Relationships written by George Silberschatz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control-mastery theory, developed by Dr. Joseph Weiss over the second half of the twentieth century, is an attempt to integrate an understanding of how the mind works, how psychopathologies develop, and how psychotherapy can effectively help. Control-Mastery theory assumes that the patient's problems are rooted in the grim, constricting pathogenic beliefs that the patient acquires in the traumatic experiences of childhood. The driving force behind the psychotherapeutic process is the patient's conscious and unconscious desire to recover the capacity to pursue life goals by gaining control and mastering self destructive patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Underlying this theory is the conception that the client structures (both consciously and unconsciously) the psychotherapeutic process in order to clearly and quickly address her own goals. Following this line of thought, the practitioner must be able to identify a client's aims, respond to and encourage these thoughts, and develop a strategic therapeutic plan to effectively address the needs and wants of each individual. This book aims to present the control-mastery theory in a more accessible format, and introduce it to a wider audience, expanding the scope of the theory beyond simply a comparison to Freudian analysis. The text presents an integrated cognitive-psychodynamic-relational approach to therapy, addressing issues surrounding psychopathology and pathogenic constructions. Organized into three distinct sections, the book first considers theoretical underpinnings before moving into in-depth discussions of clinical and practical application of these valuable therapeutic tools and techniques, drawing heavily on detailed descriptions of entire therapy sessions. The final section of the book covers current and developing empirical research, presenting convincing arguments in support of the theory and practice earlier discussed. The editor has extensive research and clinical experience with both the conceptual and practical aspects of the theory, and has worked with Joseph Weiss and Hal Sampson - the two pioneers of the control-mastery approach - who each contributes a chapter to the book. Transformative Relationships advances this integrative approach to therapy beyond its current scope, introducing these valuable concepts and techniques to a wider audience of practitioners of all backgrounds.
