Valerie Sinason

Opis

This book was an instant classic when it first appeared in 1992 and has continued to be a key text ever since. Easy to read yet profound in its meaning, it offers hope to professionals, family members and volunteers in the field of learning/intellectual disability as well as the wider community. Based on Dr Valerie Sinason's groundbreaking clinical work at the Tavistock Clinic, it became a catalyst for change in the treatment and perception of disability both in the UK, Europe and South Africa. 18 years later Sinason brings back the timeless loved case studies together with new cutting-edge material. A new chapter on group therapy draws on her work as a Consultant Research Psychotherapist and Adult Psychoanalyst at St Georges' Hospital Medical School and a new chapter on Dissociative Identity Disorder draws on her work as Director of the Clinic for Dissociative Studies, which she founded in 1998.
