Opis

This volume represents a state-of-the-art introduction to the science and the art of psychodynamic psychotherapy and its diverse applications in clinical work. It highlights the unique features of a psychodynamic approach that focuses on the patientâs systems of meaning and the quality of the treatment relationship, which form the foundation for individualized medicine in both psychology and psychiatry, including psychopharmacological treatment. The readers will be able to appreciate the richness and scope of the psychodynamic field, and its unique place in the landscape of psychotherapeutic approaches available today. The bookâs contributions include multinational perspectives from clinicians and researchers in Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, and USA, and cover a wide range of therapeutic approaches, from historical and integrative aspects to dream analysis, group therapy, sensorimotor and mentalization-based treatment, neuropsychoanalysis, grief and trauma work. It is intended for a wide spectrum of readership, from psychology and psychiatry trainees to beginning and seasoned clinical practitioners, psychiatrists, researchers, and interested members of the general public.
