Description

Equal to the Madness: Countertransference Intensive Psychotherapy for Psychosis is the first book of its kind to offer a semi-structured psychodynamic treatment for psychotic disorders. This volume addresses all the most important areas of treatment in one volume, providing clinicians with comprehensive theory and technique for working with psychotic patients. This book seeks to be didactic, practical, and applied, rather than only theoretical. It is written in a clear and concise for those who are just learning about the treatment of psychosis for the first time, but comprehensive enough to be helpful to more seasoned professionals. It is grounded in contemporary psychodynamic writing, with a strong focus on Bion’s seminal contributions to the treatment of psychotic states. It is an ideal textbook for graduate psychology courses, psychiatric facilities, analytic training programs, and clinicians in private practice. This book was researched using the innovative process of ‘distillation and matching,’ a means of selecting and identifying the common elements in treatment from diverse analytic literature spanning over one hundred years. The result is a synthesized approach to psychotherapy that is sufficiently organized, clear, and explicit so as to be useful as a treatment handbook, without impacting the clinician’s freedom and clinical judgment. The ultimate goal of this book is to condense, simplify, and streamline psychoanalytic thinking on psychosis into an easy-to-access treatment compendium.
