Building on the enormous popularity of her two previous texts on
diagnosis and case formulation, this important work from Nancy
McWilliams completes the trilogy by addressing in detail the art
and science of psychodynamic treatment. McWilliams distills the
essential principles of clinical practice, including effective
listening and talking; transference and countertransference;
emotional safety; and an empathic, attuned attitude toward the
patient. The author describes the values, assumptions, and clinical
and research findings that guide the psychoanalytic enterprise, and
shows how to integrate elements of other theoretical perspectives
when necessary. She also discusses the phases of treatment and
covers such neglected topics as educating the client about the
therapeutic process, handling complex challenges to boundaries, and
attending to self-care. Presenting complex clinical information in
personal, nontechnical language enriched by in-depth clinical
vignettes, this is an essential psychoanalytic work and training
text for therapists.
