Do psychotic disorders make sense? Are psychotic symptoms amenable
to interpretation? Understanding Psychosis: A Psychoanalytic
Approach takes the various pathways to psychotic illness outlined
by psychoanalytic clinicians and scholars and integrates them into
a model that allows a systematic assessment of relevant
psychodynamic dimensions in the diagnosis of psychotic disorders,
and which serves as a guide to psychotherapy with psychotically ill
patients. Joachim Kuchenhoff reviews and integrates various
psychoanalytic concepts and theories about psychosis into a
multi-dimensional psychodynamic model that allows an assessment and
understanding of the patient's subjective experience, objective
psychological capabilities, and interpersonal resources. Kuchenhoff
helps the therapist to establish a basic attitude in working
psychodynamically with patients and to understand the dynamics of
the therapeutic relationship. Understanding Psychosis also
addresses specific issues that can arise in work with clients
experiencing psychosis, including understanding imminent crises or
precursor states, elucidating semiotic qualities in seemingly
negative symptoms, differentiating the psychotic and a
non-psychotic part of the personality and providing a dynamic
approach to the psychopharmacological treatment. Clinical vignettes
and three detailed case reports are included in the book.
Understanding Psychosis will be an essential guide for
psychiatrists, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts working with
patients experiencing psychosis. It will also be of use to
psychologists, and academics and students of psychotherapy,
psychiatry and psychoanalysis for psychosis.
