Springer New York Fragmented Intimacy Addiction in a Social World
Book SynopsisHere is the first major work that examines the benefits of applying social understanding to addiction. The author demonstrates how a social perspective shifts the paradigm from viewing a person in terms of "particles" to viewing a person in terms of relationships.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Adams (population health, U. of Auckland) uses a social-ecological approach to address the needs of the addicted and those around them. He closely examines the ways addiction disrupts intimacy, leading to cycles of loss and isolation, and the means by which the addicted and those around them can re-engage. … He provides a significant amount of material about applying these concepts directly to practice at the family and community level." (www.booknews.com, April, 2008) "Adams provides a refreshing, needed analysis that complements new scientific discoveries; he goes beyond biological and neuropsychological explanations to explore the reciprocal influences of social context and addiction. … Adams’s coverage is novel, and the book is more comprehensive than previous works have been. He offers a solid theory and integrates empirical support throughout his discussion. … this volume can serve as a library resource, a textbook, or a clinical manual. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers, all levels." (M.

Jason Aronson, Inc. A Curious Calling
Book SynopsisWhat brings you here? Is the standard question posed to patients at the offset of their therapeutic journey. Here, this question is posed to therapists themselves. It presents a survey of motivations to practice psychotherapy, through a review of the literature and discussion of the results of a study of therapists conducted by the author.Trade ReviewNowhere is there a more complete and coherent explication of the myriad of forces that lead all of us into careers as psychotherapists....Readers will respond to Dr. Sussman's bok with sighs of recognition over and over again as they find aspects of themselves jumping out at them from the pages fo the book. -- Glen Gabbard M.D.The author is to be congratulated for his orderly approach and his courage to delve into a controversial area. He has written a book that should be read by all mental health workers, a volume that contains both wisdom and compassion. -- Peter L. Giovacchini, M.D., Psychoanalytic Books: A Quarterly Journal of Reviews...an excellent review of how therapists have understood their own motivations for practicing psychotherapy. -- Stuart Scheiderman, The New York Times Book ReviewDr. Sussman's A Curious Calling is a must-read for any clinician with an unconscious. Sussman writes compellingly of the therapist as a 'wounded healer,' motivated by a whole host of powerful unconscious forces. His book is a disturbing but sympathetic exploration of a controversial issue—the therapist's 'dark place,' those unconscious motivations that can be unconscionably destructive if not acknowledged or profoundly constructive if recognized and known. It is an awesome responsibility to be in the position of helping another come to know himself and his unconscious; if the therapist is to be able effectively to assume responsibility, he must truly know himself, as well. -- Martha Stark, M.D.Psychotherapists with perfect mental health should avoid this book. The rest of us will benefit greatly from Dr. Sussman's important contribution. Providing a sophisticated, psychodynamic discussion of the complex motives which fuel the desire to help others, the author challenges us to know ourselves more fully and thereby to deepen the therapeutic process. This well-documented and thought-provoking book should be read by all cliniclans, and by those who train them. -- Amy Schaffer PhDHow can I convey the excitement engendered by this book? Sussman makes a unique contribution to the literature of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with its publication....This book is both stimulating and challenging. It should be required reading in training programs for psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. -- Frederick S. Mittleman, M.D., Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic

Jason Aronson, Inc. Another Chance to be Real
Book SynopsisDonald D. Roberts, Ph.D. is on the faculty at The Masterson Institute of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Spokane, Washington, where he also maintains a private practice that emphasizes treatment of the personality disorders.Deanda Sylte Roberts, M.A. has maintained a private practice in Spokane, Washington for over 30 years, specializing in individual counseling and psychotherapy, marital therapy, and supervision of psychotherapists.Trade ReviewFinally, a book that bridges the gap between theory, affective neuroscience, and the art of psychotherapy. With stunning clarity regarding object relations theory, more than three decades of experience as highly respected clinicians, and access to the latest research regarding emotion regulation and the dynamics of attachment, these fine authors have crafted a book that is as readable as it is essential to read. This state-of-the-art volume is crucial for anyone seeking to understand current affective research and its application to the healing of difficult to treat patients. These pages stand out as among the most important written regarding an integration of theory, research, and treatment in the past decade. -- Kent Hoffman, Bert Powell, and Glen Cooper Co-Originators of, Co-Originators of the Circle of SecurityThis book eloquently describes the normal process of attachment and how disorders of this process lead to a Borderline Personality Disorder. The writing is clear and concise. Emphasizing that the psychotherapy requires affect attunement, as well as therapeutic interventions, the authors illustrate how the therapist takes into account the patient's intrapsychic structure in the way he or she talks to the patient. I recommend this book to all therapists to increase and solidify their therapeutic approach to the Borderline Personality Disorder. -- James F. Masterson, M.D., director, the Masterson Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

Jason Aronson, Inc. Applications of Family and Group Theraplay
Book SynopsisThis book is rich in content and practical ideas guided by current attachment and neurobiological research. Chapters contain family and group Theraplay case studies including agendas from beginning, middle, and end of treatment sessions with an extensive appendix, which helps to translate theory into practice.Trade ReviewA comprehensive compendium covering the gamut on how best to utilize Theraplay. It not only offers coverage on family and group work, but also clearly addresses multicultural approaches, research, special populations and situations, working with parents,and dealing with termination. Each chapter is a gem unto itself, coming alive with case studies and examples. Given the ever-increasing and alarming rates of autism, trauma, poor parental attachment, and emotional and affect dysregulation in children,Theraplay is needed now more than ever. This excellent resource is a must-have book for both the experienced Theraplay therapist and also clinicians looking to integrate Theraplay and enhance their treatment repertoire. I highly recommend it!!! -- Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, MA, MS, RPT-S, director of Clinical Training, Astor Services for Children and FamiliesAdvances in our understanding of the sequential nature of brain development and the impact of trauma on this development have ignited considerable interest in finding therapies that are effective with lower brain region dysfunction. Unfortunately, traditional play therapies are very powerful in treating higher brain level dysfunction but have little impact on brain regions that are unresponsive to language, insight, and logic. In her most recent book, Applications of Family and Group Theraplay, Evangeline Munns has compiled a wonderful assortment of Theraplay techniques and strategies that can greatly assist the neurodevelopmentally sensitive therapist. -- Richard L. Gaskill, EdD, RPT-S, Clinical Director Sumner County Mental Health CenterApplications of Family and Group Theraplay is an informative assembly of chapters from front line Theraplay therapists. The descriptions of activities, as well as details regarding case studies, inform therapists how effective and adaptable Theraplay can be across cultures and with specific client populations. It is sure to become a valuable resource for therapists worldwide as they translate Theraplay’s theory into practice! -- Lorie Walton, M.Ed., President of the Canadian Association for Child and Play TherapyThis book is immediately useful, informative, and from my point of view convincing. Theraplay is gentle, it's practical, it's simple in design, and trusts that legitimate contact can be promoted through specific playful behaviors observed in normative and healthy parent-child relationships.

Jason Aronson, Inc. The Damaged Core
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive and tightly argued book deals with the process through which a coherent self evolves, the various ways such development fails to occur, and the therapeutic measures to put things back together.Trade ReviewSalman Akhtar uses his considerable skills as a psychoanalytic theoretician, clinician, and teacher to bring further clarity to the understanding and treatment of severe psychopathological conditions. His capacity to integrate a vast amount of information is impressive. He demonstrates the theoretical plurality that has marked psychoanalysis for the last two decades. He begins with the fundamental psychological issue for all severe psychopathological conditions, a damaged core, and follows it through development while addressing many theoretical and clinical issues. Most importantly, the reader is led to a greater appreciation of how patients are helped. This is a book of great value for anyone interested in severe psychopathology and its treatment. -- Melvin Bornstein, MD, Editor, Psychoanalytic InquiryIn this scholarly and comprehensive volume, Salman Akhtar writes beautifully about the most complex subject in psychoanalysis, which is at the heart of our desire to understand our patients; the formation of the self. Special attention is given to the processes of separation and individuation and Akhtar’s careful examination of the environment created by the psychoanalyst adds a dimension that goes beyond words. The developmental process is explicated in clear language and illustrated with a series of clinical vignettes that capture the complexity of the human mind. -- Anni Bergman PhD, author of Ours, Yours, Mine: Mutuality and the Emergence of the Separate SelfPart of the appeal of Akhtar's work lies in the selection he makes from the universe of clinical concepts. Each of the segments fits into a coherent whole to be both gripping in the midst of the journey and deeply appreciated at the conclusion of the trip. The author provides fresh perspectives on classic Freudian concepts and presents more modern structures with a contemporary eye. The ultimate effect is of a satisfying tour…. When Akhtar's bibliography is encountered, there is surprise, even awe, at the range, scope, and sheer productivity of his original writings and edited works. Having sat with and steeped myself in… The Damaged Core for the last few months, I am hungry for more. More important, the students whom I have introduced his work are eagerly ready too. * Psychoanalytic Psychology *[Akhtar] structures with a contemporary eye….the author does a good job in covering topics of ground rules, the structure of the session, and logistics within it. Simultaneously, Akhtar sets an interpersonal tone in his writing that seems to be parallel to the kind of interpersonal feel one would expect in the room with him. It is clear, uncomplicated, tactful, and warm. Therapeutically, tone is as important as theory. We will all do well to learn from Akhtar's style of communication….I have not read a more clearly written guide to the experience-near navigation of the therapeutic process. SO many trainees in psychiatry and clinical psychology are desperate to know how to handle issues in therapy. Yes, they want to be guided by theory, but hey want to know what to say, as well. Akhtar provides both. * Psychoanalytic Psychology *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Part 2 Prologue Chapter 3 1.

Jason Aronson, Inc. Peer Supervision Groups
Book SynopsisPeer supervision is an important component of many psychotherapists' professional lives, particularly those in private practice. This first and only book on peer supervision groups describes in detail the experience of being in a peer group and gives concrete guidelines for creating and running a group.Trade ReviewKassan offers a glimpse into the vulnerabilities of clinicians. With an extensive review of the literature, he makes a compelling case for peer supervision as a haven for personal and professional development and connection. This book is both informative and inspiring. -- Connie Concannon, LCSW, FAGPA, CGP, American Group Psychotherapy Association, UCSF Department of PsychiatryFor decades psychotherapists have found peer supervision groups enriching and meaningful. In this lively and practical book, Kassan presents a comprehensive view of the pros and cons of these groups as well as providing guidelines for setting up effective peer groups. This important book also effectively deals with the larger issue of how we train psychotherapists. -- J. Scott Rutan, PhD, CGP, Boston Institute for PsychotherapyI believe this is the first book-length, comprehensive examination of peer supervision groups, an increasingly popular vehicle utilized by mental health professionals to deal with difficulties that arise in their practices, to foster their growth as professionals, and to derive support in what otherwise can be a very lonely profession. Kassan does a wonderful job of making these groups come alive and delineating their attributes; as such, it should be read by all who want to understand their value and their limitations. -- Harold Bernard, PhD, American Group Psychotherapy Association, New York University School of MedicineLee Kassan...has written a practical book for those therapists who might consider joining a Peer Supervision Group. By taking a practical approach and eschewing theory, Mr. Kassan presents a readable, practical and helpful book which broadly covers every aspect of peer group supervision....This is an excellent survey and introduction to what will be an increasingly important topic. * International Journal Of Group Psychotherapy *Table of Contents1 Introduction Part 2 I: Supervision Chapter 3 1 The Supervisory Relationship Chapter 4 2 The Problems of Supervision Part 5 II: The Interviews Chapter 6 3 Who Are the Interviewees?

Jason Aronson, Inc. The MindBody Interface in Somatization
Book SynopsisThe Mind-Body Interface in Somatization addresses the underlying psychological and personality factors predisposing patients to experience somatization and somatizing syndromes. It is directed at the needs of the practicing medical, psychiatric, and psychological clinician.Trade ReviewThe authors tackle the complexity of somatization head on. Neuroplasticity, ego psychology, existential psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology are all given their due. Treatment recommendations are useful and solid. -- Walter A. Brown, M.D, Brown University and Tufts University School of MedicineThis is a much needed book on a long neglected topic. Somatization is a problem that has been well-described but poorly understood for many years. The book is illuminating. Jonathan Cole’s contribution, probably the last words he wrote for publication in his long life, is classic Cole: wise yet playful, cautious yet ready to take action, acknowledging uncertainty yet offering hope. It is so typical of him that his last statement in clinical psychopharmacology, a field he had founded 50 years before with a handful of others, was a thoughtful, provocative, nicely researched little essay concerning an area that few had thought about and about which only a little was known. -- J. Alexander Bodkin, MD, chief of the Clinical Psychopharmacology Research Program, McLean HospitalSomatization is an underappreciated aspect of medical care. This book addresses the need to weave the science and the art of medicine into a whole. Individuals are a complexity of physiologic and emotional interactions influenced by cultural expectations, societal norms, personal experiences, and spiritual orientation. The authors recognize this truth. This book challenges us to examine professional objectiveness and scientific certainty while remembering that there is a person within the patient that presents to the clinician. -- Bruce P. Bates, DO, Departments of Geriatric Medicine and Family Medicine, University of New England College of Osteopathic MedicineThe book itself is comprised of 11 chapters covering ideas about somatization from every conceivable aspect, whether conventional or unusual. Among those, there is a hankering after dialectical behaviour therapy in the management of chronic somatization. All of the chapters are well-written, clear, and reasonable. There are many discussions of related theoretical and social issues which offer thoughts for consideration in a broader focus. The book is nicely produced and easy to read. * The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry *Table of ContentsChapter 1 1: Somatization and the Power of Conventional Wisdom Chapter 2 2: Somatization and Its Discontents Chapter 3 3: A View from outside the Box Chapter 4 4: Ambivalence and Progressive Regression in Somatization Chapter 5 5: Perception and Multi-Level Perceptual Diagnosis Chapter 6 6: Dealing with Impasse Resistance Chapter 7 7: Cognitive Behavioral Treatments of Chronic Somatization Chapter 8 8: Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Chronic Somatization Chapter 9 9: The Situational Somatizing Patient in Treatment Chapter 10 10: Psychopharmacology and Somatization Chapter 11 11: Death or Transformation

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIt is difficult to simultaneously deliver a meaningful narrative to a mixed audience of parents and professionals, but that is what the author has managed to do here.

Gray, PhD, American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology, author of The Maltreated Child: Finding What Lurks Beneath, University of the RockiDr. Becker-Weidman's book is an excellent guide for the therapist using the DDP approach.

Book SynopsisA handbook of this new development in psychoanalysis.Trade ReviewThis book best approximates what every psychiatric resident, clinical psychologist, psychiatric social worker, and analytic institute candidate would have wished for. It is an extraordinary handbook of the new developmental psychologies of psychoanalysis. -- James S. Grotstein, M.D.Dr. Hamilton has provided us with a text that is at once comprehensive, sophisticated, clinically relevant, and perfectly understandable to the budding professional. The author breathes life into the theory with his liberal use of clearly written clinical vignettes and literary references. Moreover, Hamilton is blessed with a touch of the poet, which makes his prose a supreme pleasure to read. This is a superb achievement that deserves a place on the shelves of psychiatric residents and other trainees in the mental health disciplines. -- Glen O. Gabbard, M.D.
