Overview

The comprehensive The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychoanalysis is the only textbook of its kind in this distinguished field. Both a clinical guide and a reference book, this essential text focuses not only on psychoanalytic theory and treatment but also on developmental issues, research, and the many ways in which theoretical psychoanalysis intersects with contiguous disciplines. The editors, recognized experts in the field, have brought together a remarkable 39 distinguished contributors whose broad-based interests make this textbook a unique reference for interdisciplinary psychoanalysis. The textbook provides an overall view of the methodology of psychoanalytic intervention, covering core concepts, developmental theory, treatment and techniques, research, and history, and concludes with an extensive glossary and name and subject indexes. No other psychoanalysis textbook is as comprehensive in scope with such a broad array of contributors as The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychoanalysis. This up-to-date reference will find a wide audience not only among psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, educators, and students but also among professionals in allied disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, literature, the arts, philosophy, politics, and neuroscience.

Reviews

This multiauthored review of contemporary psychoanalysis includes all current theoretical orientations. It offers a clearly written, user-friendly, and broadly comprehensive view of all issues in psychoanalysis... The authors and editors are all well published, and many are most accomplished teachers in psychoanalysis. Although he book is long, each chapter is brief and to the point. The layout is attractive and there are no obvious errors. The price is quite fair for a text of this size and quality. It is a worthwhile reference book for contemporary psychoanalysis. The chapters on research are well done and provide information that is not widely known, especially to the noisier critics in the field. - Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, May 2006
