Reviews

'This is a wonderful book which covers the depth and breadth of psychotherapy in a single, easily digestible, evidenced-based book. The authors' expertise shines through as we move from an introduction covering the 'greats' in psychoanalysis to more detailed discussions in areas such as self-harm, therapeutic communities and group analysis. The range and breadth of the various chapters means that there is something for everyone - for me, as a general practitioner trying to understand how to manage medically unexplained symptoms, for psychiatrists trying to grabble with the existential issue of why people take their own lives and through to those in leadership positions trying to make sense of organisational and team dynamics. I enjoyed this book immensely and commend it very highly to anyone interested in unconscious processes in the lives of our patients, our colleagues and our society.' Dame Clare Gerada, General Practitioner, and Medical Director, Practitioner Health 'This comprehensive guide is immensely useful to trainees and qualified clinicians alike as an essential orientation to psychological and psychodynamic thinking, as applied to a range of psychiatric conditions. It valuably contextualises psychotherapy amongst the range of treatment approaches available to the working clinician engaged in making a thoughtful and potentially helpful recommendation to the patient in a consultation. It is uniquely valuable as a reflection of the significant expertise of the chapter authors, whose depth of knowledge and extensive experience in the clinical field is evident throughout. An essential text for all clinicians working in mental health.' Alan Colam, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Psychoanalyst and Chair of the ethics committee at the British Psychoanalytic Council 'This edition of the Seminars in the Psychotherapies goes a long way to providing psychiatrists and health and care professionals at all stages of their career with key and relevant knowledge which applied wisely will help many attempting to solve problems inherent in being human. I will be recommending it wholeheartedly.' Kate F. Lovett, Dean, Royal College of Psychiatrists 'The field of psychotherapies has become increasingly complex with the development of new therapies and the development of the evidence base in relation to more established approaches. How refreshing, then, to find a book that lays this out so clearly for the reader. Not only does it cover all of the major psychological therapies, it looks at their application within a more psychiatric framework and introduce the reader to novel areas of development. I found the inclusion of the section on organisational dynamics especially welcome given that it is an area in which we often fail to attend to sufficiently in training. Understanding the impact of the work at both individual and organisational level is essential to the delivery of high quality care. In summary I recommend this volume highly.'
