The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychoanalysis
"The first textbook of its kind, this brilliant, scholarly tour de force about psychoanalysis is a timely volume that will meet the needs of all mental health workers who are drawn to find out more about how Freud's theory of mind and his talking treatment have evolved into the culture, and are highly relevant to today's practice. The book has been composed by some of the most prominent psychoanalysts in North America. It should become a foundational text for both teaching and treating. It is a storehouse of information about the field for the 21st century. Starting with 'Core Concepts' and ranging from clinical treatment and example to research; to its overlap with the humanities and neuroscience; to the history of its international development; each subsection is filled with richly rewarding and available papers that are highly informative, up-to-date and importantly practically helpful in thinking about patients. The excellent straightforward glossary at the end should demystify the use of psychoanalytic terms and their meanings. The book will be a major boon for trainees, students and practitioners alike."-- "Rosemary H. Balsam, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Yale Medical School, Training and Supervising Analyst, Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis, New Haven, Connecticut"
