Nancy McWilliams macht die psychoanalytische Personlichkeitstheorie und ihre Implikationen fur die Praxis fur Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten aller Erfahrungsstufen zuganglich. In ihrem Buch zeigt sie auf, wie das Verstandnis der individuellen Personlichkeitsstruktur eines Patienten den Fokus und den Interventionsstil des Therapeuten beeinflussen kann. Im ersten Teil werden Richtlinien fur die Entwicklung einer systematischen und dennoch flexiblen Diagnoseformulierung vorgestellt und deren Verwendung als Grundlage fur die Behandlung erklart. Die Autorin erlautert einflussreiche psychoanalytische Paradigmen, die sich auf die Charakterstruktur beziehen. Sie zeigt, wie die analytische Theorie Instrumente bereitstellt, um Patienten als komplexe Ganzheiten und nicht als Ansammlungen von komorbiden Symptomen zu sehen und zu behandeln. Teil 2 geht naher auf die Hauptcharaktertypen ein und untersucht die klinischen Probleme, die von Patienten jedes Typs prasentiert werden: ihre Triebe, Affekte und ihr Temperament, Abwehr- und Anpassungsprozesse, Beziehungsmuster, Selbsterfahrungen und haufig auftretende Probleme in der therapeutischen Beziehung. Die Anleitungen zur Differenzialdiagnose enthalten klare Hinweise zur Unterscheidung zwischen einem uberwiegend narzisstischen Patienten und einem Patienten, der uberwiegend zwanghaft ist. Anschauliche Fallbeispiele illustrieren die Konzepte. Dieses Buch ist eine hervorragende Einfuhrung in das psychoanalytische Denken und unverzichtbare Informationsquelle fur den Einsatz in Psychotherapiekursen auf Graduiertenebene und psychoanalytischen Instituten. Mit einem Geleitwort von Otto F. Kernberg. Ubersetzt aus dem Englischen von Natalia Braun.

Psychological Care for Cancer Patients: New Perspectives on Training Health Professionals is an innovative work in psychosocial oncology which examines the role of creative expression in the psychological treatment of cancer patients. After having spent five decades in this field, Domenico Arturo Nesci has become a proponent of treatment that values patients as creatives and valiant fighters rather than objects of an ambivalent compassion. This book analyzes this intersection of psychology, the humanities, medicine, and social work through scholarship conceived to help all people whose lives are crossed by cancer: patients, relatives, caregivers, health professionals, and students.

Special attention is given to navigating personality dynamics, power imbalances, and various dimensions of diversity in the supervisory dyad.

Revisiting Jonestown covers three main topics: the psycho-biography of Jim Jones (the leader of the suicidal community) from the new perspective of Prenatal Psychology and transgenerational trauma, the story of his Peoples Temple, with emphasis on what kind of leadership and membership were responsible for their tragic end, and the interpretation of death rituals by religious cults as regression to primordial stages of human evolution, when a series of genetic mutations changed the destiny of Homo Sapiens, at the dawn of religion and human awareness. A pattern of collective suicide is finally identified, making it possible to foresee and try to prevent its tragic repetition. At the same time, through an artistic editorial work on original images from the Peoples Temple files, a sort of Multimedia Psychotherapy is subliminally delivered in order to help the mourning of the victims of Jonestown, to whose memory the book is dedicated.

Denne anerkjente kliniske veilederen gir en omfattende og lett tilgjengelig oversikt over psykoanalytisk personlighetsteori og dens implikasjoner for klinisk praksis. Boken beskriver verdier, antakelser og erfaringer fra klinikk og forskning som er rådende på det psykoanalytiske feltet, og viser hvordan man integrerer elementer fra andre teoretiske perspektiver. I tillegg drøftes de ulike fasene i behandling. Forsømte temaer, som å gi klienten opplæring i den terapeutiske prosessen, håndtere det komplekse samspillet i potensielle grenseoverskridelser og å ivareta egne behov, blir utdypet. Nancy McWilliams har en egen evne til å presentere komplisert materiale på en personlig, ikke-teknisk måte. Boken er beriket med dyptgående kliniske vignetter. Psykoanalytisk diagnostikk er et sentralt psykoanalytisk verk og en verdifull læringstekst for terapeuter. Nancy McWilliams’ bøker er oversatt til mer enn 14 språk.

Jeg vil si at hun i stor grad lykkes med dette». Bokvennen Litterær Avis, Nr.11/12, 2018

I Psykoanalytisk diagnostik (1994) argumenterar Nancy McWilliams för att den psykodynamiskt orienterade terapeuten behöver sätta sig in i och förstå sin patients personlighetsstruktur för att på bästa sätt tillämpa psykodynamiska teorier och tekniker. Patientens personlighet bör vara vägledande för de terapeutiska mål som man arbetar mot, för bemötandet av patienten och val av terapeutiska metoder. Nancy McWilliams använder sig av två axlar eller perspektiv för att systematisera och klargöra sina kunskaper om patientens personlighet. Den ena axeln handlar om personlighetens utvecklingsnivå (psykotisk, borderline, neurotisk). På den andra axeln beskrivs nio personlighetsstrukturer (psykopatisk, narcissistisk, schizoid, paranoid, depressiv, masochistisk, tvångsmässig, hysterisk och dissociativ). Hon ger en utförlig beskrivning av psykiska försvar och hur olika personligheter hanterar känslor. I boken finns också en berättelse om hur personlighetsdiagnostiken har utvecklats och förändrats inom den breda psykoanalytiska-psykodynamiska traditionen. McWilliams levandegör abstrakta begrepp med illustrationer från sin kliniska praktik. Hon gör det med medkänsla och ofta med humor. Psykoanalytisk diagnostik riktar sig till såväl blivande som erfarna psykoterapeuter och psykologer, verksamma inom socialt arbete och vårdyrkesgrupper.

Exploring Three Approaches to Psychotherapy gives readers in-depth analysis of what occurs in therapy as practiced according to three different orientations: cognitive, emotion-focused, and psychoanalytic. Leading psychotherapists Leslie S. Greenberg, Nancy McWilliams, and Amy Wenzel explain the theory and principal techniques of their respective models, and specifically how they are applied in the therapy demonstrations shown in the videos Three Approaches to Psychotherapy With a Male/Female Client. This book grants readers access to the authors' insights about how the three approaches work in practice, offering a rare look into the minds of three therapists as they explore and comment on the therapy demonstration sessions.

Addressing the art and science of psychodynamic treatment, Nancy 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 book describes the values, assumptions, and clinical and research findings that guide the psychoanalytic enterprise, and shows how to integrate elements of other theoretical perspectives. It 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 information in personal, nontechnical language enriched by in-depth clinical vignettes, this is an essential psychoanalytic work and training text for therapists.

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.
