Psychodynamic Formulation
"This is the best book I have read on psychodynamic formulation.  Clearly written, with a warm, conversational style and numerous clinical examples, this book shows the reader how centrally important a psychodynamic formulation is to understanding the patient and guiding the treatment—not just in psychotherapy—but in all clinical settings.  The authors systematically guide the reader in developing skills and building knowledge to construct a psychodynamic formulation and thinking deeply about patients.  It is the most comprehensive and accessible learning guide on psychodynamic formulation to date!" (Debra Katz,Vice Chair for Education at the University of Kentucky and Director of Psychiatry Residency Training, USA)“This highly anticipated companion text toPsychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Clinical Manualprovides a sophisticated yet easily understandable approach to developing psychodynamic formulations, one of the most challenging and important aspects of learning psychodynamic psychotherapy.  Cabaniss and her coauthors understand how to present the complex world of psychodynamic psychotherapy and formulation in a way that beginning students can grasp and apply to their clinical work with patients.  The system of developing formulations (Describe-Review-Link) provides focus, clarity and the flexibility to create meaningful ways of understanding our patients that will be of great benefit to both beginners and skilled clinicians.  This book is a great advance in the way to approach developing the formulations that are the bedrock of well conceived treatment.” (David A.
