She shows that empathic understanding of Asian or Middle Eastern cultures is so important in successful outcomes of their treatments. -- Peter Berton, University of Southern California, Emeritus, and New Center for Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles, Emeritus\u003cbr\u003eDr. Lachkar does it again! She addresses an issue hardly mentioned in the analytic literature, the plight of the disappearing male and the women who love and are traumatized by them. This book is unique and is suitable for all mental health professionals, including the most seasoned. The concept of ‘disappearing’ tackles the difficult terrain of dissociation where one can be physically present but not emotionally there, creating confusing, frustrating, and upsetting moments of interaction. This book contains the road maps to engage those who are disengaged. -- Nancy Kobrin, author of Banality of Suicide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:  Acknowledgments  Introduction  Chapter 1 Overview of The Disappearing Male  Chapter 2 Theoretical Framework   Chapter 3 The Disappearing Narcissist  Chapter 4 The Disappearing Borderline  Chapter 5 The Disappearing Schizoid  Chapter 6 The Disappearing Obsessive Compulsive  Chapter 7 The Disappearing Passive Aggressive  Chapter 8 The Disappearing Depressive  Chapter 9 The Disappearing Cross-Cultural Man  Chapter 10 The Disappearing Woman  Chapter 11 Treatment Techniques, Approaches  Epilogue: Closing Thoughts  References  Glossary  Index  About the Author","brand":"Jason Aronson, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037929832791,"sku":"9780765709097","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780765709097.jpg?v=1750938220","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-disappearing-male-9780765709097","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
