The Austen Riggs Center is nationally recognized as the leading
psychiatric hospital for treatment-resistant patients, who
willingly seek help but just cannot respond to treatment. Here,
leaders in treating such challenging patients offer a comprehensive
psychodynamic approach for treatment and offer hope for recovery.
In this book, readers are given an in-depth view into the
psychodynamics systems perspective of treatment resistant
disorders, with illustrations of the value of including family
therapy, and developing and using a psychodynamic treatment team.
Also offered is the first description published in book form of the
newly-defined area of psychodynamic psychopharmacology an approach
to the use of medications that attends to the meaning of
medications to the patient and clinician, as well as to their
pharmacologic effects. Important clinical problems such as trauma,
psychosis, suicide, family resistant, integrated treatment, and
psychopharmacologic failures are covered in detail. Throughout,
practical principles are reported in text boxes to help the reader
apply learning from Riggs to other outpatient, residential, day
treatment, and inpatient settings. The Austen Riggs Center is on
the forefront of dealing with difficult-to-treat patients, and this
book provides an invaluable resource for both understanding
treatment resistance and implementing effective techniques to treat
it in clinical practice."
