"Unbearable Affect" is that rarest of literary gems, a work of
genuine and profound scientific merit that also has a deeply moving
story to tell. It traces the progress of a fictional young
psychiatrist, Tony Potter, as he immerses himself in the lives and
psyches of patients who suffer from the worst kinds of mental
torment. Dr. Potter s clinical encounters demonstrate that affect
lies at the center of psychosis and must, therefore, be the focus
of any meaningful course of psychoanalysis or psychotherapy.Dr.
David Garfield cuts a path through the thick forest of
psychotherapeutic theories and techniques to lead us on a journey
of discovery. First, we discover the ordinary within the
extraordinary, the real person whose existence has been obscured by
the swirling symptoms of psychosis. Next, we go in search of the
extraordinary with the ordinary, the great strength, ability and
human potential that can survive even the worst psychoses, and
which are the foundations upon which the healing process is built.
Young Dr. Potter confronts patients suffering from a variety of
psychoses, and after each encounter, we learn what the great
authors and researchers of the mind have had to say about the
condition, and how state-of-the art psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy address it.In this cohesive, dramatic, and highly
readable piece, Dr. Garfield establishes a roadmap for the
diagnosis and psychotherapeutic treatment of psychotic disorders
based on finding, understanding and reordering of unbearable
affect. He provides concrete clinical advice, vivid examples, and
crisp jargon-free descriptions of theoretical concepts and clinical
techniques. Most of all, he demonstrates that it is possible for
psychotic patients to take control of their conditions, rebuild
family relationships, and establish themselves in the viable
productive lives that they have long despaired of achieving."
