Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice
Description:... New edition of a highly successful reference originally published in 1990. Every chapter has been revised to include DSM-IV criteria, the advances in understanding the various diagnoses that led to the alterations in the criteria, and the psychodynamic implications of these changes. The volume presents the basic theoretical principles of dynamic psychiatry and the major treatment modalities, including individual therapy, group therapy, family/marital therapy, pharmacotherapy, and dynamically informed hospital treatment. The theoretical principles and therapeutic approaches discussed are then applied to the major Axis I and Axis II disorders in DSM-IV. A new chapter addressing dissociative disorders has also been added in this edition. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
