In Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty: Struggling with a
Shadow of a Doubt, Moshe Marcus and Steven Tuber examine the
structural and intrapsychic features of the self as presented
within OCD compulsive doubting, and more broadly, within OCD
compulsions. Marcus and Tuber further elucidate central
object-relational paradigms within OCD doubting and suggest a
broader framework that can be used to consider the interplay
between both the cognitive as well as the affective components
required to make judgments.
Donald Winnicott, the first pediatrician to become a child
psychoanalyst, was the most influential and important child
therapist in the field of child clinical psychiatry and psychology.
Having consulted with over 30,000 mothers and children as part of
his work in London city hospitals over 40 years, he had an almost
magical capacity to engage with children and to soothe and guide
parents through their most anxiety-ridden times. His optimistic
notions of the "good enough" mother has calmed generations of
parents; his depiction of security blankets ("transitional
objects") found full flower in the Charlie Brown character Linus;
his stressing of the importance of the capacity to play as the gold
standard of mental health had an enormous impact on preschool and
kindergarten education and his focus on the insidious impact of a
lack of authenticity or "false self" has led to countless papers on
the malevolent impact of narcissism at both the individual and
societal levels. Attachment, Play and Authenticity: Winnicott in a
Clinical Context, 2nd edition, attempts to take these contributions
and place them directly in the consulting room. Actual
child-therapist vignettes are paired with each chapter's
theoretical contributions. The reader is thus first transported to
Winnicott's powerfully alive depictions of what happens in healthy
and pathological mother-child interaction and then brought to see
how these depictions manifest themselves in child therapy. No other
work on Winnicott has applied this focus to the integration of
theory and practice.
The past forty years have revealed a myriad of theoretical advances
to Freud's original conceptions of the personality. It has also
witnessed the continued use of projective methods as a vital means
of understanding the what and the how of mental health and
psychopathology. Understanding Personality Through Projective
Testing provides the reader with a comprehensive framework for
linking these revitalized key domains of personality functioning to
the quality of responses to projective testing in both children and
adults. Six core aspects of personality: two facets of object
relations (moving towards and away from self and others); the
quality of defense mechanisms; the nature of affect maturity; the
integrity of autonomous ego functioning and the capacity for
playfulness are defined, articulated, and linked to one another in
a reciprocal manner. Four commonly used projective testing methods:
the Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM); the Thematic Apperception Test
(TAT), the Sentence Completion Test (SCT), and the Animal
Preference Test (APT) are then described in detail. Each of these
projective methods is in turn presented as dynamically-based tools
to indicate the relative performance of the patient across the six
core personality domains. Clinical case examples provide both the
beginning and more seasoned clinician with a comprehensive
psychodynamic paradigm with which to view each of the testing
methods, as well as enhanced methods with which to use each of the
tests more subtly and hence with greater clinical acumen. A
comprehensive battery of projective testing is then assessed
through the protocol of a single adult patient, allowing the reader
to integrate the value of each of the individual projective methods
into a comprehensive assessment of the whole person. Readers will
find the book a vital complement to both standard reference works
on projective methods as well as books that describe personality
along developmental and psychodynamic lines.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty: Struggling with a
Shadow of a Doubt examines the structural and intrapsychic features
of the self as it presents within OCD compulsive doubting, and more
broadly within OCD compulsion. Specifically, it is situated within
the theoretical framework of psychodynamic theory and
object-relations theory and aims to elucidate central
object-relational paradigms within OCD doubting. Moshe Marcus and
Stephen Tuber suggest a broader framework through which to consider
the interplay between both the cognitive as well as affective
components required to make judgments.
Parenting: Contemporary Clinical Perspectives offers fresh insights
into treating parents and their children that highlight the
evolving role of parents throughout the lifespan and amidst
contemporary social pressure and change. By drawing from their own
personal experiences as well as those from clinical practice,
distinguished clinicians and analysts examine each phase of
parenting through a variety of lenses to tackle our biggest
parenting questions. While we must be highly present for our
children to help them develop a sense of self-worth, we must
simultaneously step back if we want them to develop a sense of
autonomy and individuality. As our role as parent changes, how can
we maintain a sense of grace, humor, and perspective? How can our
work in practice inform and enrich our parenting, and vice versa?
Thoughtful and engaging, this volume is a valuable resource for
family therapists and clinicians, especially those who are parents
themselves.

Starting Treatment With Children and Adolescents provides
therapists with a time-tested framework for treatment and a
moment-by-moment guide to the first few sessions with a new
patient. In twelve remarkable case studies, verbatim transcripts of
individual play-therapy sessions are brought to life through
running commentary on techniques and theory and a fine-grained
analysis of what worked, what didn t, and what else the clinician
could have done to make the session as productive as
possible.
Clinicians will come away from the book with a unique window into
how other therapists actually work as well as new tools for
engaging children and adolescents in process-oriented treatment.
They ll also be guided through an exploration of common questions
such as How else could I have handled that situation? What other
paths could I have tried? Where might those other paths have led?
What treatment strategies are most advantageous to my patients
growth and to my own?
