Psychotherapy: couples and families Books
Taylor & Francis Ltd The Couple
Book SynopsisThe Couple: A pluridisciplinary story asks two questions and endeavours to answer them: What is the couple? And what story are we talking about? Éric Smadja presents his view of the couple as a composite, sexual-bodily, socio-cultural and psychic living reality in diverse and variable interrelationships, unfolding within a complex temporality. Ambivalently invested in by each partner, the couple is structurally and dynamically as conflictual as it is critical. Smadja sees the couple as situated at the intersection of several histories: socio-cultural; epistemological (the construction of this object of knowledge and of psychoanalytic treatment); natural (that of the cycle of conjugal life marked out by critical and mutative stages); and therapeutic (that of the suffering couple that will consult a specialist and undergo psychoanalytic therapy). The Couple: A pluridisciplinary story follows the narrative division of these histories following a pluri- aTable of ContentsIntroduction. The Couple's Historical and Socio-Cultural Envelope.

Taylor & Francis Ltd ParentChild Art Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisParent-Child Art Psychotherapy presents a working model of ways to incorporate parents into a child's art therapy sessions, drawing on the relational-psychoanalytic notion of mentalization in the treatment of difficulties within childhood relationships. The model is introduced by clearly explaining the theory, the setting, the role of the therapist, and the work with the parents. In addition, the book offers a full section dedicated to practical applications of the model, replete with illustrative case studies and detailed therapeutic art-based interventions covering leadership, movement, collaborative and solitary work, and parent-child exercises. Intended for art therapists, students, parent-child psychotherapists, and other therapists interested in expanding their knowledge in the field, Regev and Snir provide a definition and conceptualization of a short-term treatment model with the potential to have comprehensive effects leading to positive change.Trade ReviewParent-Child Art Psychotherapy provides a practical framework for parent-child work in art therapy leaning on years of clinical experience. Drs. Regev and Snir weave case examples throughout the book and end with a plethora of art-based exercises and interventions. I believe that this book will benefit beginning and experienced art therapists alike, by deepening their knowledge of parent-child art therapy, the phenomenological Haifa model, developmental and psychoanalytical approaches to parent-child work and potential art-based interventions. Johanna Czamanski-Cohen ATR LPC (AZ), Lecturer, School of Creative Art Therapies, Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences, University of HaifaAlthough an intensive clinical work, the study of parent child psychotherapy within the framework of art therapy has been long neglected. In an attempt to fill this gap, this illuminating book summarizes and presents a rich cristalyized conceptual model accompanied by a surging clinical literature to illustrate this subject. As such, almost all clinicians working with young children or applying art techniques will benefit from studying this book carefully.Limor Goldner, ATR.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum
Book SynopsisThe autism spectrum presents a range of communication, social, and sensory differences that are challenging for clinicians to address. Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum provides a guide to conceptualizing those differences and ways to discuss them with clients and their families. Readers are provided with narrative examples illustrating the application of key concepts introduced in the text. These case examples address issues that range across the life cycle, from families with young children to ones with teens who are emerging as adults. Using the techniques learned in this book, clinicians will be able to guide families towards their positive autism narrative.This book also features a visual framework to organize the compelling narrative of each person's autism spectrum pattern of developmental differences or brain style. Using this visual framework and the corresponding descriptive language, clinicians and families can work together to create their autism conTrade ReviewI have known Dr. Monteiro professionally for many years and am delighted that this book permits a wider group of people to learn from her as I am privileged to do. This book is warm, rigorous, and superb in its entirety and speaks to a crucial issue in working with families with autistic children. Both as a clinician and as the parent of a child with autism, I found this book to be immensely informative and directly useful both personally and professionally.—Baer Ackerman, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist; clinical professor of psychiatry at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX.Congratulations Marilyn Monteiro on yet again creating a world of wisdom in bringing together the complex world of autism, diagnosis, and intervention, and enriching us with your formidable expertise and compassion. You manage to do what most practitioners are unable to, and that is break down the stigma, barriers, and ‘clinical’ language that we have been conditioned to use with clients, schools, and families. Not only do you teach about the human elements of people with autism, but you provide us with the tools and most importantly, respectful language to develop a trusting and respectfully mutual relationships with clients. I highly commend your new title Family Therapy and Autism Spectrum to practitioners, teachers, educators, parents, and siblings, and everybody who wants to learn a ‘new language’ and progressive framework, to work with people with autism spectrum disorder.—Eirini Lammi, consultant psychologist MAPS, Australian Council for Educational Research.Children and families with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be one of the most difficult and exhausting populations to treat. These clients are hard to relate to and their parents often feel helpless. Dr. Monteiro concisely and clearly delineates the various aspects of ASD to make it a manageable and treatable disorder. Providing actual transcripts of sessions, she arms the practitioner with language and techniques to empower parents and children. This is a must-read for anyone working with ASD clients.—Ray Levy, PhD, adjunct clinical professor at SMU, clinical psychologist, author of Try and Make Me! and Light Their Fire.Rooted in her extensive knowledge and understanding of the autistic brain style, Dr. Monteiro has brilliantly written Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum as a guide book for those who help individuals with autism. I was most impressed with her emphasis on the best description of each individual so as to formulate the best prescription for interaction and care.—Peter C. Ray, MD, behavioral & developmental pediatrician.We need to change our perception of autism away from it being a disorder and disability, to having a different sensory perception, learning style and thinking. Marilyn Monteiro encourages clinicians to engage in such a paradigm shift, thus improving their clinical practice. This will be appreciated by, and of practical value to both those with autism and their families. Every current and prospective clinician needs their personal copy of her words of insight and wisdom.—Tony Attwood, PhD, senior consultant at The Minds and Hearts Clinic, Brisbane, AustraliaTable of ContentsAn Initial Conversation I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychoanalytic Couple Therapy: Foundations of
Book SynopsisIn this time of vulnerable marriages and partnerships, many couples seek help for their relationships. Psychoanalytic couple therapy is a growing application of psychoanalysis for which training is not usually offered in most psychoanalytic and analytic psychotherapy programs.This book is both an advanced text for therapists and a primer for new students of couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Its twenty-eight chapters cover the major ideas underlying the application of psychoanalysis to couple therapy, many clinical illustrations of cases and problems in various dimensions of the work. The international group of authors comes from the International Psychotherapy Institute based in Washington, DC, and the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships (TCCR) in London. The result is a richly international perspective that nonetheless has theoretical and clinical coherence because of the shared vision of the authors.Trade Review'Psychoanalytic Couple Therapy represents a major advance in a crucial and, until recent years,underdeveloped application of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Chronic marital conflict is a major source of human suffering and consultation to psychotherapeutic practitioners. The original application by Henry Dicks of Fairbairnian psychoanalytic theory and Melanie Klein's exploration of primitive defensive operation and object relations in the therapeutic approach to couples in conflict had opened a new field of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The expansion of this field with new knowledge stemming from psychoanalytic theory of small group dynamics, understanding of attachment pathology, trauma therapy, and open system theory of personality and cultural interactions, however, took a relatively long time. The reader of this book will find both clear definitions of the corresponding clinical instruments and their theoretical basis, and their practical application to a broad spectrum of couples' conflicts. The underlying unconscious fantasies of both partners are highlighted and explored in the context of transference/countertransference activations in the triangular therapeutic encounter. This volume shows how sexual difficulties, cultural constraints and contradictions, gender issues, and clashes of rigid personality patterns are linked to these unconscious fantasies and their roots in infancy and early childhood. The richness of the contributions permits the reader to detect technical commonalities and disagreements, and gives the reader the stimulation and freedom to achieve his or her own synthesis of this creative, sophisticated overview of psychodynamic couple therapy today.'- Otto F. Kernberg, MD, Director, Personality Disorders Institute, New York Presbyterian, The University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell'What remains constant is the longing most of us have for a stable yet satisfying adult couple relationship and the enormous difficulty in achieving it. The couple relationship is often given superficial attention in the public domain. This book is a welcome antidote, drawing attention to the complexity and variety of relationships and the challenge of meeting troubled couples in the consulting room. The book provides a solid grounding for psychoanalytic psychotherapy with couples. The writing captures the richness of contemporary developments in psychoanalytic couple therapy, covering parenting, attachment, sexuality, aggression, intimacy, and dreams. What stands out about this book are the numerous, lively, in-depth clinical examples which bring the couples and the clinical dilemmas to life - through these, the reader is invited right inside the consulting room. It is that which will no doubt entice new people into this field.'- Joanna Rosenthall, couple psychoanalytic psychotherapist; Couples Unit Lead, Adult Department, Tavistock Clinic; psychoanalyst, Member of the British Psychoanalytic Association'Edited by two of the most respected practitioners in the field of couple and family psychoanalysis worldwide, this book reviews the question of technique in these settings. In clear and direct language it discusses the basic issues of this clinical practice in keeping with the assumptions of modern psychoanalysis. The authors take up new challenges in showing the mental functioning of couples and families as fantasmatic organisms, the intertwining of intrapsychic and interpersonal levels, and the new frontiers opened by this approach.'- Anna Maria Nicolo, psychiatrist; Training Psychoanalyst, Italian Psychoanalytic Society/IPA; President, Italian Society for Psychoanalysis of Couple and Family; Editor-in-chief, Interazioni
