The psychoanalytic movement has expanded and diversified in many directions over its one hundred year history. "An Introduction to Psychoanalysis" examines the contributions made by the various schools of thought, explaining the similarities and differences between contemporary Freudian, Kleinian, Object Relations, Interpersonal, Self Psychology and Lacanian analysis. The authors address crucial questions about the role of psychoanalysis in psychiatry and look ahead to the future.
The book is divided into two parts covering theory and practice. The first part considers theories of psychological development, transference and countertransference, dreams, defense mechanisms and the various models of the mind. The second part is a practical introduction to psychoanalytic technique, with specific chapters on psychoanalytic research and the application of psychoanalytic ideas and methods to treating psychiatric illness.
Well referenced and illustrated throughout with vivid clinical examples, this will be a valuable book for psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists and all those working in mental health.
