Dictionary for Psychotherapists cover

For experienced professionals, and those in various stages of training. Written in narrative form, proceedings from abandonment neurosis to working through entries are plain-spoken and tailored for clinical utility. The text also functions as an overview of practical problems in psychotherapy, and includes biographical profiles of many important theorists.

Chessick, author of numerous books and articles on psychoanalysis, here offers a dictionary of psychoanalytic terms. The book originates from the author's many years of clinical practice and is intended for readers with a previous basic knowledge of psychotherapy. The approximately 220 entries range in length from 50 to 1,500 words, each concluding with a list of further readings. Written in clincal rather than theoretical style, entries cover a wide variety of topics, "Objects Relations Theory" to "Corruption." Chessick's work will be useful for graduate students and practicing clinicians. * CHOICE *
