The representation of the form of objects and of space in painting,
from paleolithic through contemporary time, has become increasingly
integrated, complex, and abstract. Based on a synthesis of concepts
drawn from the theories of Piaget and Freud, this book demonstrates
that modes of representation in art evolve in a natural
developmental order and are expressions of the predominant mode of
thought in their particular cultural epoch. They reflect important
features of the social order and are expressed in other
intellectual endeavors as well, especially in concepts of science.
A fascinating evaluation of the development of cognitive processes
and the formal properties of art, this work should appeal to
professionals and graduate students in developmental, cognitive,
aesthetic, personality, and clinical psychology; to psychoanalysts
interested in developmental theory; and to anyone interested in
cultural history -- especially the history of art and the history
of science.
The papers featured in "Attachment and Sexuality "create a dense
tapestry, each forming a separate narrative strand that elucidates
different configurations of the relationship between attachment and
sexuality. As a whole, the volume explores the areas of convergence
and divergence, opposition, and integration between these two
systems. It suggests that there is a bi-directional web of
influences that weaves the attachment and sexual systems together
in increasingly complex ways from infancy to adulthood.
The volume's unifying thread is the idea that the attachment
system, and particularly the degree of felt security, or lack
thereof in relation to early attachment figures, provides a
paradigm of relatedness that forms a scaffold for the developmental
unfolding of sexuality in all its manifestations. Such
manifestations include infantile and adult, masturbatory and
mutual, and normative and perverse. Also central to the papers is
the idea that the development of secure attachment is predicated,
in part, on the development of the capacity for mentalization, or
the ability to envision and interpret the behavior of oneself and
others in terms of intentional mental states, including desires,
feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Topics discussed in the book
will help to shape the direction and tenor of further dialogues in
the arena of attachment and sexuality.

Recent research indicates that depression, once believed to be
relatively benign, is highly recurrent and does not respond well to
treatment. The goal of this book is to facilitate the development
of more encompassing theories and more effective treatments for
this disabling disorder by fostering dialogue and enhancing the
integration of work across the boundaries of separate fields. Each
chapter offers an overview of the state of the art of research in a
particular area - cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic
therapy, epidemiology, developmental psychopathology, neurobiology
- and explores both the implications of the latest hypotheses and
findings for work in other areas and the barriers to constructive
collaboration. In an integrative Epilogue, the editors identify and
discuss the points of primary convergence. They note
dissatisfaction with the DSM approach to depression because it is
insufficiently informed by basic research, and with existing
guidelines for intervention because they underestimate the need for
more extended treatments for many patients, the importance of
patient and therapist factors, and the central role of the
therapeutic alliance. etiologically-based, dynamic interactionism
model of depression that emphasizes recursive interactions among
genetic and neurobiological factors, personality, and life stress
in etiology. Finally, they reflect on the potential of this dynamic
interactionism model to guide future research on mood disorders and
the formulation of treatment guidelines that are better informed by
science and more congruent with complex clinical reality.

Examines theoretical aspects of attachment research and
psychoanalysis. Topics covered include similarities and differences
between psychoanalytic and attachment theories, the development of
caregiving, and the two-person unconscious.

Dynamic psychotherapy research has become revitalized, especially
in the last three decades. This major study by Sidney Blatt,
Richard Ford, and their associates evaluates long-term intensive
treatment (hospital ization and 4-times-a-week psychotherapy) of
very disturbed patients at the Austen Riggs Center. The center
provides a felicitous setting for recovery-beautiful buildings on
lovely wooded grounds just off the quiet main street of the New
England town of Stockbridge, Massa chusetts. The center, which has
been headed in succession by such capable leaders as Robert Knight,
Otto Will, Daniel Schwartz, and now Edward Shapiro, has been well
known for decades for its type of inten sive hospitalization and
psychotherapy. Included in its staff have been such illustrious
contributors as Erik Erikson, David Rapaport, George Klein, and
Margaret Brenman. The Rapaport-Klein study group has been meeting
there yearly since Rapaport's death in 1960. Although the center is
a long-term care treatment facility, it remains successful and
solvent even in these days of increasingly short-term treatment.
Sidney Blatt, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at Yale Univer
sity, and Richard Ford of the Austen Riggs Center, and their
associates assembled a sample of 90 patients who had been in
long-term treatment and who had been given (initially and at 15
months) a set of psychologi cal tests, including the Rorschach, the
Thematic Apperception Test, a form of the Wechsler Intelligence
Test, and the Human Figure Drawings.

Authoritative and comprehensive, this volume provides a
contemporary psychodynamic perspective on frequently encountered
psychological disorders in adults, children, and adolescents.
Leading international authorities review the growing evidence base
for psychoanalytic theories and therapeutic models. Chapters
examine the etiology and psychological mechanisms of each disorder
and thoroughly describe effective treatment strategies. Highly
accessible, the book is richly illustrated with clinical case
material. It demonstrates ways in which psychodynamic theory and
therapy are enhanced by integrating ideas and findings from
neuroscience, social and personality psychology,
cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other fields. Winner-Goethe Award
for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Scholarship
