Psychiatry Books
Taylor & Francis Ltd The Organic and the Inner World
Book SynopsisFor some years, there has been an unfortunate tendency in the UK for psychiatry and psychoanalysis to be perceived as in opposition to one another, to the detriment of both disciplines. Rather than see 'organic' psychiatry on one side and 'dynamic' psychiatry on the other, the British Psychoanalytical Society now wishes to try to foster closer links between psychoanalysis and psychiatry. To this end, psychoanalysts have been going out to give presentations of their work to various psychiatric departments, in the hope of building up increasing understanding both of current developments in analytic thinking, and of how analysts can learn from psychiatric colleagues. The authors learned, from their experience of putting on a number of Freud events, that there is a great hunger to know more about psychoanalysis, particularly among young people, both those in psychiatric training and in the wider community. In parts of the academic world, there is a particular interest in psychoanalysis; indeed the most subscribed courses in some of our most prestigious universities are those where psychoanalysis is involved. This book is the result of a conference that was held at the Institute of Psychoanalysis entitled 'The Organic and the Inner World'. It was organised by the NHS Liaison committee of the British Psychoanalytical Society. Its aim was to consider the place for analytic thinking in the world of psychiatry with its emphasis on an organic approach to major psychiatric disorders.Trade Review'We are moving into a new epoch in which it is becoming possible to scientifically explore the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity and the reciprocal influences of brain and mind, nature and nurture. For those interested, this book is a 'must read'. It contains four brilliant essays with commentaries. Britton is at his best in giving a psychoanalytic and historical perspective; Fonagy and Bateman show how far things have progressed in their chapter on modern understandings of the borderline mind and brain. There are then two fascinating chapters on the unconscious in manic-depression and dementia.'- Brian Martindale, Honorary President of the European Federation of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy; Member of the World Psychiatric Association Education Committee'This is an important book. It addresses an area of crucial significance for both psychoanalysis and psychiatry, namely the relationship between the two and what each can learn from the other. Increasingly, research evidence highlights the extensive nature of this overlap, and texts such as this, with contributions of exceptional quality, are essential in shedding light on such complex terrain.'- Dr Mathew Patrick, Training and Supervising Analyst, British Psychoanalytical Society; Chief Executive, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation TrustTable of ContentsContentsABOUT THE EDITORS AND CONTRIBUTORS PREFACE by Roger KennedyINTRODUCTION by Richard Lucas and Ronald DoctorCHAPTER ONEMind and matter: a psychoanalytic perspective - Ronald BrittonCHAPTER TWODiscussion of Ronald Britton's chapter on mind and matter - Leon KleimbergCHAPTER THREEMechanisms of change in mentalization-based treatment of borderline personality disorder - Peter Fonagy & Anthony W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fostering Independence: Helping and Caring in
Book SynopsisIn a series of papers, the author addresses the needs of students, patients, and practitioners of psychodynamic therapies. The work of these professionals with children and with adults is discussed from a pragmatic point of view, stressing the importance of recognizing the needs and capacities of each individual patient. At the same time, the author focuses on the professional's role in the clinical interaction, emphasizing the need to identify and respect what leads him to the consulting room, and what he expects to obtain from this strenuous and demanding type of work.The evolution of psychodynamic theories has led to its being often defined as a new version of the patient's earliest relationship of dependence on a maternal figure. The author discusses the implications of such a formulation and argues that, however correct it may be when referring to a small number of patients, it is important that, for the majority of cases, the professional should aim to help the patient to find and develop his or her independence and self-sufficiency.Trade Review'For more than half a century, Dr A. H. Brafman has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of children and their families. Though modest and tolerant in his thinking - like all good intellectuals - Brafman could never be described as bland. He holds many strong opinions, some highly challenging to orthodoxy; and he shares his theories generously. His collection of papers represents the very best of the independent tradition in contemporary psychological work; and no student can claim to have completed his or her education without having engaged seriously with Dr A. H. Brafman and with his numerous enriching contributions.'- Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Clinical Research Fellow in Psychotherapy and Mental Health, Centre for Child Mental Health, London, and Honorary Visiting Professor, School of Arts, Roehampton University, LondonTable of ContentsIntroduction -- Introductory Note to Chapter One Dogma vs. doubt -- Infant observation -- Introductory Note to Chapter Two The role of intuition -- Winnicott's therapeutic consultations revisited -- Introductory Note to Chapter Three and Four Who should ask? -- Increase or not increase? -- Touching and affective closeness -- Introductory Note to Chapters Five and Six Flexibility -- Child analysis: when? -- Tailor-made therapy for the child: new developments in Winnicottian work with young people -- Introductory Note to Chapters Seven and Eight Feet on the ground -- Letter to a young psychotherapy trainee -- Memorizing vs. understanding -- Introductory Note to Chapters Nine and Ten Helping?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Freud's Schreber Between Psychiatry and
Book SynopsisThis book investigates what was distinctive about the predisposition to psychosis Freud posited in Daniel Paul Schreber, a presiding judge in Saxony's highest court. It argues that Freud's 1911 Schreber text reversed the order of priority in late nineteenth-century conceptions of the disposing causes of psychosis - the objective-biological and subjective-biographical - to privilege subjective disposition to psychosis, but without returning to the paradigms of early nineteenth-century Romantic psychiatry and without obviating the legitimate claims of biological psychiatry in relation to hereditary disposition. While Schreber is the book's reference point, this is not a general treatment of Schreber, or of Freud's reading of the Schreber case. It focuses rather on what was new in Freud's thinking on the disposition to psychosis, what he learned from his psychiatrist contemporaries and what he did not, and whether or not psychoanalysts have fully received his aetiology.Trade Review'Thomas Dalzell studies with precision the position of the best of classical psychiatry, as well as that of Freud and finally of Lacan. At the same time he does homage to a remarkable opus which was the object of these labours, that of a madman who, in his delirium and suffering, had enough humanism to leave to the savants a unique document made for their enlightenment.'- Dr Charles Melman, psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, director of teaching in Lacan's Ecole freudienne de Paris, and founder of L'Association Lacanienne Internationale, from the Preface'This work is novel, original, and exciting. Dr Dalzell's writing presents a balanced, eclectic, and logical exposition. It makes a unique contribution to the field of psychoanalytic research and is to be commended to all students intent on research in this field.'- Professor Kevin M. Malone, MD, FRCPI, FRCPsych, professor of psychiatry, School of Medicine and Medical Science, University College Dublin'In a remarkable work that joins scientific rigour to the art of the story teller, Thomas Dalzell tells the tale of the missed encounter between Freud's discovery of the crucial place of the speaking subject in the understanding of psychosis and the biological objectifications of the makers of modern psychiatry, which still dominate current theory and treatment.'- Dr Cormac Gallagher, Lacanian psychoanalyst and founder of the School of Psychotherapy at St Vincent's University Hospital, DublinTable of ContentsPreface , Introduction , Freud's exemplary case of psychosis: Daniel Paul Schreber , Disposition to psychosis in Freud's Schreber text , Psychosis in Freud's papers before and after his Schreber text , Freud and Emil Kraepelin , Freud and the Viennese psychiatrists , Freud and Eugen Bleuler , Hereditary disposition in Freud's aetiological chain , The reception of Freud's 1911 aetiology by psychoanalysts , Jacques Lacan on Freud's Schreber , Conclusion

An invaluable reference for psychiatrists and other clinicians, this authoritative text is illustrated throughout with case histories and includes clear guidelines on diagnosis and treatment.Trade Review'All in all this is a highly readable book, inspiring and almost seducing one to reconsider the diagnostic use of Delusional Disorder, and inviting future research into the nature of delusions and the psychopathology and epidemiology of paranoid disorders. The book should be obligatory for psychiatric libraries, particularly in DSM-using countries.'
