The Social Work Psychoanalyst's Casebook begins with an interview
with Dr. Sanville, who reflects on her evolution as a social work
analyst, theoretician, writer, teacher, and leader. These
reminiscences are followed by accounts of nine analytic treatments,
each of which offers an unusual window into what actually
transpired between analyst and analysand during the treatment
hours. These case studies concern particularly troubled, often
traumatized patients-the very "hard to reach" or "difficult to
treat" clients with whom social workers have long been familiar.
They include a reanalysis by the same analyst of a patient whose
first therapy ended in a stalemate; an account of transference and
countertransference phenomena during termination; a report on the
analysis of a young woman who experienced both chronic and
stress-related trauma; and an account of the special issues
involved in the treatment of an aging woman. Most of the case
studies reflect the influence of Dr. Sanville, whose work has long
evinced the therapeutic imagination and disciplined creativity to
which all the contributors aspire. Tthe contributors to this volume
offer the salutary reminder that analytic work is built on a
relationship of respect and empathy and that treatment success
follows from the therapist's willingness to accommodate the unique
needs of individual patients. In honoring Jean Sanville, The Social
Work Psychoanalyst's Casebook speaks to the robustness of a
multidisciplinary approach to psychopathology that transcends the
bounds of any single profession-an approach in which contemporary
psychoanalysis is enlarged by the insights and emphases of social
work just as social work is enriched by the clinical wisdom of
psychoanalysis.

This book focuses on the role that siblings play in each other's
development, on the ways in which they may enrich or cast a shadow
over each other's lives, and on how their internalized influence
can be recognized and dealt with in the clinical setting. Drawing
from observational research and clinical experience, Joyce Edward
considers how brothers and sisters, as important attachment
figures, may contribute to each other's development of a sound
sense of self and to their capacities for establishing satisfying
social relationships. Edward also examines how excessive sibling
envy, jealousy, and rivalry or physical, sexual or emotional abuse
at the hands of a sibling can impede an individual's development
and contribute to pathology. Detailed treatment examples
demonstrate how essential it is to give siblings a place in the
therapeutic situation, to recognize them not only as displacement
figures for parents but also as persons who hold an important place
in the minds of patients, exerting influence on the way they relate
to their mates, their children, their friends, and their
therapists.
Wherever contemporary therapists offer treatment, whether in social
agencies or clinics, in outpatient or inpatient services, or even
in private practice, they are likely to find themselves
increasingly working with people whose histories are characterized
by deprivation and repeated trauma - experiences that have left
them feeling damaged, often short of basic trust in others, and
lacking confidence in themselves. These people have tended to be
seen as beyond the pale for psychoanalytically oriented treatment.
The contributors to this volume would disabuse us of such a
prejudiced opinion. They proceed to demonstrate the enormous value
of psychodynamic perspectives with a varied clientele, many of whom
in the past might have been deemed "untreatable". And they do this
by sharing with readers the stories of their attempts to work with
persons of diverse cultural, ethnic, and racial groups who come
with complaints that point to severe psychopathologies. In each of
the twenty-three stories, we are afforded a glimpse of the two
actors in the drama as they meet and size up one another, negotiate
and renegotiate their agreement to collaborate, work through and
play through the shifting positive and negative transferences and
counter-transferences toward a working relationship, experience
both frustrations and triumphs as they persevere in attempts to
promote healing and growth. These are exciting narratives,
documenting the ethic that underlies the psychoanalytic vision and
the animation that it affords both participants.
" The Apprentice Boy" is the story of a young man who carried the
nails, ropes, hammers, etc., along the death route on the Via
Dolorosa on any day that the Romans decided to crucify someone;
being Hebrew or violator of a crime, whether guilty or purely in
their own arrogance. Although the story is not entirely about the
crucifixion of any particular person, a singular event in a very
important way has an impact on the boy's life thereafter. The story
deals primarily with the background training of the child in his
adolescence, young manhood and up to his maturation. The story
follows the life of this young man and his two lifelong companions,
and also the lives and duties of the men who worked mainly in the
background of the dungeons, torture chambers, and jails during the
Roman reign of Israel. The training, or the apprenticeship that
achieved the journeyman status of the Jailer, was without a doubt
one of intense attention to torturous detail while being a devoted
Roman at the same time. Young men trained to do the job of death
Why would a young man prepare himself for such a cruel future? With
such a hard Roman background, how could the crucifying of one
innocent man and the friendship of the beautiful Hebrew woman
Valentis, have such an impact on the behavior and life of the
hopeful "JAILER"?
