This book provides clinicians and students with insights on the use
of psychodynamic therapy to treat drug abuse and addiction,
combining theory with clinical case material. The perspectives of
analysts such as Abraham, Rado, Zimmel, Tibout, Wurmser, Khanzian,
Krystal and McDougall are reviewed alongside original and more
recent conceptualizations of drug addiction and recovery based on
Kleinian, Winnicottian and Kohutian ideas. The case material deals
with clinical phenomena that characterize working with this complex
population, such as intense projective identification,
countertransference difficulties and relapses. The theoretical
analysis covers a range of concepts, such as John Steiner's psychic
shelters and Betty Joseph's near-death-addiction, which are yet to
be fully explored in the context of addiction. Prevalent topics in
the addiction field, such as the reward system, the cycle of change
and the 12-step program, are also discussed in relation to
psychodynamic theory and practice. Written by an experienced
therapist, Psychodynamic Approaches for Treatment of Drug Abuse and
Addiction is useful reading for anyone looking to understand how
psychodynamic thought is applicable in the treatment of drug abuse
and addiction. It may also be of some relevance to those working on
treating alcohol use disorders and behavioral addictions.
