Innovative and humane treatment of patients with substance use
disorders distinguishes this highly esteemed practitioner and major
psychodynamic thinker. From his initial contribution of identifying
the self-medicating function of abused substances, to the continued
elaboration and refinement of his work focusing on the addict's ego
deficits of self-regulation and self-care, Edward Khantzian's ideas
have become the standard in the field of addictions treatment. His
insights into the dynamics of substance abuse have changed the ways
that clinicians understand their addicted patients, significantly
raising the likelihood of successful treatment. Shifting the focus
from a pleasure-seeking to a pain-relieving approach to their
patients' substance use enables clinicians to engage in a more
positive, compassionate psychotherapeutic relationship, unhampered
by countertransference feelings of contempt and condemnation.
Passionate, professional, and unfailingly astute, Dr. Khantzian
examines his patients' internal worlds, revealing vulnerabilities
while uncovering resiliency and strength. This book, comprehensive
in scope, abundant in clinical material, and written with clarity
and intelligence, provides a depth of understanding of substance
use disorders and an increased hope for recovery. A Jason Aronson
