    Book SynopsisBuilding on the comprehensive theoretical model of dissociation elegantly developed in The Dissociative Mind, Elizabeth Howell makes another invaluable contribution to the clinical understanding of dissociative states with Understanding and Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder. Howell, working within the realm of relational psychoanalysis, explicates a multifaceted approach to the treatment of this fascinating yet often misunderstood condition, which involves the partitioning of the personality into part-selves that remain unaware of one another, usually the result of severely traumatic experiences.Howell begins with an explication of dissociation theory and research that includes the dynamic unconscious, trauma theory, attachment, and neuroscience. She then discusses the identification and diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) before moving on to outline a phase-oriented treatment plan, which includes facilitating a multileveled co-constructed therapeutic relationship, emphasizing the multiplicity of transferences, countertransferences, and kinds of potential enactments. She then expands the treatment possibilities to include dreamwork, before moving on to discuss the risks involved in the treatment of DID and how to mitigate them. All concepts and technical approaches are permeated with rich clinical examples.Trade Review"Elizabeth Howell, in Understanding and Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Relational Approach, has once again shown that successful psychotherapy hinges on working with dissociation in the context of a human relationship. In her new book, she extends the central thesis of her earlier volume, The Dissociative Mind, to brilliantly portray how, even with individuals who seem to defy the time-honored rules of psychotherapeutic engagement, the deepest healing and the deepest growth are intertwined in the ever-shifting interactive relationship with the multiple aspects of self haunting the patient's inner world. Synthesizing within her own perspective the valuable contributions of other clinicians and researchers in the area of trauma and dissociation, she demonstrates how the complex relational environment defining the "disorder" labeled DID is not a strange form of illness but a debilitating form of anticipatory self-protection – the automatic reliance on a dissociative self-state structure designed to preempt the return of traumatic affect and interpersonal betrayal. Howell's inspiring range of scholarship and clinical perceptiveness is so deeply embedded in her wisdom, that I strongly anticipate this book being an invaluable resource for all mental health practitioners of all orientations." - Philip M. Bromberg, author of The Shadow of the Tsunami (2011), Awakening the Dreamer (2006), and Standing in the Spaces (1998)"Elizabeth Howell has officiated at the wedding of traumatology and relational psychoanalysis by serving us with a thoughtful and nuanced melding of theoretical knowledge and clinical wisdom borne out of many years of hard work. Especially valuable are detailed case descriptions and discussion, which bracket the book and punctuate the text even in the section on relevant neurobiology. This is an accessible 'must read' volume for clinicians interested in better understanding their patients who are struggling with the aftermath of chronic complex trauma and dissociation." - Richard A.

Chefetz, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, USA"A must for any psychologist looking for deeper study of this serious and life changing disorder and how it affects their patients." - The Midwest Book Review"Howell's voice is personal, and at times passionate...Howell is familiar with relevant current research literatrue and summarizes it thoroughly, but this is not what makes her book original. Rather, it is her collection of clinical "pearls." She frequently includes short segments from verbatim transcipts of psychotherapy sessions and these are very valuable as illustrations of therapeutic technique...for those seeking a glimpse into the office of a master clinician who knows how to work with dissociative patients." - Judith L. Herman, MD, Psychoanalytic Psychology"An impressively comprehensive yet nuanced guide for the understanding and treatment of patients with dissociative identity disorder (DID). The first half of the book is an excellent summary of relevant theory, while the second half focuses cogently on several clinical topics. We recommend Howell's latest book as a reliable guide for both novice and experienced analysts." - Miriam Korn, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic AssociationTable of ContentsIntroduction.

  • Taylor & Francis Bion and Meltzers Expeditions into Unmapped

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDrawing on the influential contributions of Wilfred Bion and Donald Meltzer to psychoanalysis, Bion and Meltzer's Expeditions into Unmapped Mental Life explores and addresses the clinical implications of their work, both through revisiting several of their conceptions and illustrating them with detailed clinical material from the analyses of children, adolescents, and adults. Psychoanalysis strives towards truth; this is its essence. However, emotional truth is often unknowable and not amenable to verbal communication. This ineffable mental realm is at the heart of both Bion and Meltzer's psychoanalytic endeavours. Bion's writings reflect a developmental stage in the evolution of psychoanalysis, extending clinical work to mental realms that were seemingly unreachable. Donald Meltzer further infuses Bion's thinking with his own original notions of beauty and aesthetics, imbuing Bion's profound thinking with a poetic and lyrical tenor. Writing in a clear and lucid manner, Avner Bergstein integrates Bion's sometimes highly theoretical thinking with everyday clinical practice, facilitating his dense and condensed formulations and making them clinically accessible and useful. Bion and Meltzer's Expeditions into Unmapped Mental Life is written for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists who are attracted to Bion and Meltzer's radical thinking.Trade Review'Purporting to be a journey into the gnomic writings of Wilfred Bion and Donald Meltzer, this book is itself a highly original contribution to the problem of how psychoanalytic knowledge can be known. This engaging series of papers takes seriously Bion’s view that sensuous experience, rationality and scientific facts are obstructions to the useful knowledge of human beings. But – without empirical facts – what is there left to know? This book forces a passage through towards an intuitive form of person-to-person knowing which has been given lesser place in our Enlightenment enthusiasm for physical science. Read it; and learn from the heart.'-Bob Hinshelwood, Emeritus Professor, University of Essex, UK''This book picks up some of the most valuable concepts that Bion and Meltzer gave us. Psychotic and Non-Psychotic parts of the personality, caesura, catastrophic change, unformed parts of the mind, aesthetic conflict, autism and more are just a few the reader will find. Bergstein has clearly devoted time and thinking to these crucial matters and distilled them in his own original ways. Generous clinical illustrations allow one to see how the author uses these concepts as tools in his work.'-Dr Robert Oelsner, MD, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst,Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California and Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in Seattle; Editor of Transference and Countertransference Today, Routledge, 2013 Table of ContentsPreface 1 The psychotic part of the personality: Bion's expeditions into unmapped mental life 2 Transcending the caesura: Reverie, dreaming and counter-dreaming 3 Beyond the spectrum: Fear of breakdown, catastrophic change and the unrepressed unconscious 4 On boredom: A close encounter with encapsulated parts of the psyche 5 Attacks on linking or a drive to communicate? Tolerating the paradox 6 The painful vicissitudes of the patient's love: Transference-love and the aesthetic conflict 7 Obsessionality: Modulating the encounter with emotional truth and the aesthetic object 8 The ineffable References
