The Psychotherapy in Clinical Practice series incorporates essential
therapeutic principles into clinically relevant patient management.
This first volume, Psychodynamic Theory for Clinicians, explains the
major psychodynamic theories and shows how they provide a framework
for clinical reasoning throughout the process of psychotherapy.
Several clinical cases are presented at the beginning of the book and
discussed throughout the text so readers can follow these patients in
the context of each theoretical approach. Each chapter begins with
learning objectives, ends with review points, and includes numerous
tables, graphs, and bullet points. Appendices include a glossary,
case formulation guidelines, and a comparison of psychodynamic and
cognitive models.
