In this splendid book a master psychotherapist, one of the field's
most respected researchers, provides the first definitive account
of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in manual format. What
distinguishes this book from other guides to therapy is the way in
which the author systematically demystifies the therapeutic
process, taking the reader step by step through a sequence of
specific intervention strategies. The book offers the essence of
psychoanalytic psychotherapy by extracting the treatment principles
from Freud's six papers on technique and the Menninger Foundation
tradition of supportive-expressive psychotherapy. At the heart of
the expressive techniques is the Core Conflictual Relationship
Theme method of delineating the transference pattern and providing
a focus for the therapist's responses. Both the short-term and the
usual open-ended treatment are presented. Each technique is
illustrated by clinical vignettes. Precise measurement scales for
each technique make it easy to evaluate the therapist's
performance. Therapists, clinical supervisors, and researchers will
all find this book to be a valuable source of practical information
and inspiration.
