Ongoing wars, a sinking economy, growing inequities-more than ever,
the outside world leaves a large footprint on patients' psyches.
Not surprisingly, therapists are experiencing increased tension
between sociopolitical realities, the inner world of the treatment
hour, and their own anxieties, training, and ethics. How does one
maintain trust and authenticity? Should the concept of therapeutic
neutrality still apply at a time of widespread societal trauma and
grief? The contributors to Contemporary Clinical Practice have
grappled with these and related questions, and offer stimulating
answers. Beginning with its subtitle, The Holding Environment under
Assault, the book gauges the extent to which modern life impinges
on the therapeutic relationship, and offers steps for clinicians to
reconcile these inner and outer worlds in practice and find healing
for themselves as well as their clients. Skillful analysis and
illustrative case examples bring modern perspective to existential
dilemmas common in therapy, from transference, countertransference,
and boundary difficulties to challenges posed by new technology.
Thought-inspiring topics include: * Integrating the interior and
exterior worlds of clinical social work. * Grief and loss in an age
of global trauma. * Virtual intimacy: help or hindrance? *
Considerations for psychoanalytic treatment in time of war. * What
happens to confidentiality when the government enters the treatment
room? * The loss of dissidence in psychoanalysis. An owner's manual
to 21st-century therapy, Contemporary Clinical Practice: The
Holding Environment under Assault will be hailed by social work
professionals, counselors, and policymakers as provocative,
sobering, and ultimately career-affirming.
