, 2005
Practical emphasis on empirical validation
I teach those evil, mean behavioral and cognitive courses that all of you hate. Bwaaahahahahaaaaah. Even so... Add me to the list of people who heartily endorse this new edition of a classic. I use it as a teaching tool and as a reference, and clinical psychology students generally rave about it. A book like this one is essential at a time when psychodynamic approaches are fighting for ...

The Guilford Press

Outstanding Conceptual Clarity
This is the only "manual" I recommend to supervisees or seasoned colleagues. It is a wonderful "how-to" for psychotherapists, and so much more. Integrating elements from both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral traditions, it offers a simple yet powerful conceptual framework for understanding inner psychological conflict. The model clearly illuminates how maladaptive behavior in a client (or ...

American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc.
, 2004
Wonderful Read and Tool
As a graduate student in a predominately psychodynamic program, I have been assigned a myriad of psychodynamic/analytic literature, and this book, by far, is the most incisive, jargon free, and useful tool I have found for understanding dynamic theory-all its important nuances- and perhaps, even more importantly, for applying it to patients. Gabbard also elucidates many ancillary topics, such as ...

It helps to clear your own mind and look at yourself in a productive way, realising that no matter how hard therapy is there is a reason for everything a therapist does. The book gives ...

Insightful, compassionate and accessible
With great grace and empathy, Luepnitz traces five divergent routes through the sometimes difficult process of analysis. Luepnitz' considerable training and erudition illuminate not just psychoanalytic history and theory, but the relationships of patients and their families as they evolve through analysis. The stories of her patients' progress are as richly rewarding in analytic terms as any ...

I have used this for 3 years in teaching my group class in alcohol and drug abuse studies.

I highly recommend it for anyone doing groups, especially in the addictions field. I wish there were a 3rd edition coming ...

Morton Chethik
The Guilford Press
, 2003
A Highly valuable resource for every clinician and grad students
I was just preparing for a training that I am conducting when I again sought my copy of this book on child therapy. Chethik is from alma mater, but that is not the reason I refer to his writings. This book provides insight from a psychodynamic perspective and useful techniques in engaging child clients. You may dispute the theoritical basis for the writer's beliefs, but the techniques can be ...

Tatarsky Andrew

Move over AA, there's a new kid on the block
Andrew Tatarsky and his contributors have brought the honesty, the sympathy, and the efficacy of harm reduction into the treatment of substance users, and it's about time! "Just Say No" has failed 95% of drug users who seek treatment to have better control over their life and their substance use. It has failed them because drug use is not a disease, and abstinence is not a cure. Men and women ...

The Guilford Press

The Supervisory Relationship
Drs Sarnat and Frawley-O'Dea have made an original contribution to the literature of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Their discussion of the contemporary supervisory relationship is rich and alive, reaching back and forth between the dyads of supervisor/supervisee, supervisee/patient and supervisee/analyst, and seeing parallels and counterpoints in all of these. I found it particularly useful ...
