Most contemporary psychoanalysts and psychotherapists see each
patient once or twice a week at most. As many patients have reached
a marked state of distress before seeking treatment, this gives the
analyst a difficult task to accomplish in what is a limited amount
of time. A Casebook of Psychotherapy Practice with Challenging
Patients: A modern Kleinian approach sets out a model for working
with quite significantly disturbed, distressed, or resistant
patients in a very limited time, which Robert Waska has termed
"Modern Kleinian Therapy." Each chapter provides a vivid look into
the moment-to-moment workings of a contemporary Kleinian focus on
understanding projective identification, enactment, and acting out
as well as the careful and thoughtful interpretive work necessary
in these complex clinical situations. Individual psychotherapeutic
work is represented throughout the book alongside instructive
reports of psychoanalytic work with disturbed couples, and the more
challenging patient is illustrated with several comprehensive
reviews of films that follow such hard-to-reach individuals. A
Casebook of Psychotherapy Practice with Challenging Patients: A
modern Kleinian approach is filled with a combination of
contemporary theory building, a wealth of clinical vignettes, and
practical advice. It is a hands-on guide for psychoanalysts and
therapists who need to get to grips with complex psychoanalytic
concepts in a short time and shows the therapeutic power the Modern
Kleinian Therapy approach can have and how it can enable them to
work most effectively with difficult patients. Robert Waska LPCC,
MFT, PhD is an analytic member at the San Francisco Center for
Psychoanalysis and conducts a full-time private psychoanalytic
practice for individuals and couples in San Francisco and Marin
County, California. He is the author of thirteen published
textbooks on Kleinian psychoanalytic theory and technique, is a
contributing author for three psychology texts, and has published
over a hundred articles in professional journals.
