Description
Book SynopsisWritten by clinicians who practice primarily from a psychodynamic framework, this work shows how to include cognitive-behavioral techniques in contemporary psychodynamic practice.
Trade ReviewNorthcut and Heller's closely reasoned presentation of the integration of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches is must reading. It focuses on specific areas in which this integration can advance clinical results. -- Carolyn Saari, Ph.D., Loyola University, Chicago; editor, The Clinical Social Work Journal
Enhancing Psychodynamic Therapy with Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques is a most impressive contribution to the treatment literature, one that advanced graduate students as well as experienced clinical professionals will find useful. Though the task of meaningfully integrating psychoanalytic and cognitive-behavioral ideas is a daunting one, Drs. Northcut and Heller's approach is both scholarly and planful. Chapters are devoted to the explication of significant theoretical issues as well as to a variety of treatment applications that include different age groups, clinical issues, and treatment methods. A well-written and eminently practical guide to the integration of two important bodies of clinical knowledge. -- Jerrold R. Brandell, Ph.D., BCD, Wayne State University School of Social Work; founding editor, Psychoanalytic Social Work
