Psychoanalytic diagnosis

Nancy McWilliams’ bestseller volume explicates the major clinically important character types and suggests how an appreciation of the patient’s individual personality structure should influence the therapist’s focus and style of intervention. Major personality types include the antisocial, the narcissistic, the paranoid, the schizoid, the depressive, the manic, the masochistic, the hysterical, the obsessional and the dissociative structures. Nancy McWilliams writes in a lucid, personal manner that demystifies psychodynamic theory and practice. Numerous clinical vignettes are presented with humor, candor, and compassion, bringing abstract concepts to life.

Imagery and imagination in psychotherapy

Imagery and imagination present unique advantages in psychotherapy: the almost immediate mobilization of affects, the externalization and resolution of inner conflicts through symbolism and the transcendence of mundane reality. It is widely used in a number of therapeutic approaches such as art therapy, drama therapy etc.

In this book, specific approaches are presented which employ imagery as the principal method to induce therapeutic change. The theoretical part of this book explores the conditions that make change possible through imagery.

Neither better, not worse, just different

This book describes the diversity sensitization program applied in several greek elementary schools during the period 2002-2005. The general goals of the program were to help educators implement an anti-bias education and diversity training curriculum and more specifically the objectives of each module were:

  • To recognize and express emotions (Mayer & Salovey, 1997) as they pertain to differences, prejudice and discrimination.
  • To honour similarities and differences (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000) and examine diverse points of views.
  • To promote social awareness-empathy and perspective taking (Gibbs, 2003; Selman, 2003).
  • To understand the mechanisms of how stereotypes develop (Allport, 1954; Barrett, 2007; Fiske, 2004) and explore how prejudice and bias come about.
  • To recognize ways through which stereotypes can be overturned and apply these methods (Fiske, 1992; Fiske, 2000; Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; Fiske, 2004; Lee & Fiske 2006; Fiske, Cuddy & Glick, 2007 and Fiske, 2008).
  • To develop effective communication techniques in dealing with controversy (Isaacs, 1999).
  • To take positive social action against biases, stereotypes and prejudice (Gibbs, 2003; Gilligan, 1982; Noddings, 1984; Selman, 2003).

Psychoanalytic diagnosis

Psychoanalytic diagnosis

What kinds of questions do experienced therapists ask themselves when facing a new client? How can clinical expertise be taught? From the author of the landmark Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, this book takes clinicians step-by-step through developing an understanding of each client’s unique psychology and using this information to guide and inform treatment decisions. McWilliams shows that while seasoned practitioners rely upon established diagnostic categories for record-keeping and insurance purposes, their actual clinical concepts and practices reflect more inferential, subjective, and intuitive processes. Interweaving illustrative case examples with theoretical insights and clinically significant research, chapters cover assessment of client temperament, developmental issues, defenses, affects, identifications, relational patterns, self-esteem needs, and pathogenic beliefs.
