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.

  • Psychoanalytic psychotherapy: A practitioner’s guide

    Building on the enormous popularity of her two previous texts on diagnosis and case formulation, this important work from Nancy McWilliams completes the trilogy by addressing in detail the art and science of psychodynamic treatment. McWilliams distills the essential principles of clinical practice, including effective listening and talking; transference and countertransference; emotional safety; and an empathic, attuned attitude toward the patient. The author describes the values, assumptions, and clinical and research findings that guide the psychoanalytic enterprise, and shows how to integrate elements of other theoretical perspectives when necessary. She also discusses the phases of treatment and covers such neglected topics as educating the client about the therapeutic process, handling complex challenges to boundaries, and attending to self-care. Presenting complex clinical information in personal, nontechnical language enriched by in-depth clinical vignettes, this is an essential psychoanalytic work and training text for therapists.

    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).
