Reviews

This book is for clinicians of all 'denominations.' It is an extremely clear, concise, and well written exposition that focuses on every aspect of the psychodynamic treatment of depression, including the sometimes concomitant need for medication. Written in an accessible style and studded with excellent case vignettes, the book addresses the different dynamics in depression with remarkable clarity and panache, and it presents the whole trajectory of a psychodynamic treatment of depression from beginning to end. First rate. - Ethel Spector Person, M.D., Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia University, Training and Supervising Analyst, Columbia University Psychoanalytic Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research; A well balanced volume that educates the new, and informs the experienced. A valuable addition to the library of clinicians doing psychodynamic psychotherapy or using psychodynamic techniques in their treatment settings - inpatient, consultation, partial and outpatient settings. Teaches as you learned during training, using cases to illustrate and develop examples of technique and theory. - Robert J. Ursano, M.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; Director, Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, Uniformed Services University, School of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland; This is an exceptionally timely book and is a much needed resource in helping our patients in their recovery from depression and not simply in their symptom reduction. The authors present one of the most concise descriptions of the psychodynamic treatment process that I know of. Those clinicians wishing to learn about this type of treatment for depression will find this book invaluable. Residents will embrace this book because Psychodynamic Treatment of Depression provides an excellent overview to all of psychodynamic treatment including patient assessment for this modality, the establishment of the therapeutic relationship, patient responses to medication and combined treatment, precise interpretive techniques, the role of psychoeducation, the helpfulness and utilization of dreams, and the characteristics and objectives of the specific phases of treatment with this modality. They will also enjoy the extensive use of illustrative clinical vignettes. - Jerald Kay, M.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Wright State University School of Medicine, Dayton, Ohio


Trainees in psychiatry especially can expect to sharpen their clinical (and psychotherapeutic) skills using what this book has to offer. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry The authors provide an excellent succinct review of current and past psychoanalytic formulations of the dynamic conflicts underlying depression and apply these formulations to focused psychotherapeutic interventions with depressed patients. Numerous clinical examples are provided, and the relationship between theory and technique is clear. The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease This excellent, marvelously crafted book is an effort to succinctly articulate a psychodynamic approach to the treatment of serious depression... It is a lucid, well-written text useful to mental health professionals beginning to work with seriously depressed patients, as well as to teachers of such clinicians... Indeed, it is exemplary in its presentation of psychoanalytic ideas in a balanced, yet positive way to a new generation of clinicians. It should whet their appetites for more. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association Psychodynamic Treatment of Depression is a clearly written book that is useful to all clinicians treating patients with depression. For the seasoned clinician, theory is interwoven into each chapter to help connect the authors' ideas to those of other writers. For the novice clinician, clinical vignettes are used to elucidate difficult theoretical and conceptual ideas. Psychologist-Psychoanalyst, the newsletter of the Division of Psychoanalysis of the American Psychological Association
