2nd Revised edition |
| Synopsis: |
Two dominant themes in mental health have emerged since publication of the first edition: The now unquestionable reality of sexual abuse symbolised perhaps by the notorious Jimmy Savile case in Britain; and the continuing decline of classical psychoanalysis as a clinical treatment of choice. The book has been completely rewritten with these two developments in mind by examining precursors and their neglect in the treatment of trauma and by analysing the internal and external dynamics that have led to the present isolation of psychoanalysis from the mainstream of mental health provision. Freud remains as the originator of the technique to explore the dynamics of the human mind analogous to Newton's invention of classical mechanics in physics. And Fairbairn's work remains as the major revision to Freud's location of human mental dynamics in pleasure seeking analogous to Einstein's revision of Newtonian classical dynamics.There are several new chapters: Introduction to the Second Edition; Trauma Assessment and Treatment; Organised Abuse and The Manipulation of Attachment Needs; Tackling False Memory Syndrome; Other Players in the Room - CBT, Drugs, Mindfulness- Their Strengths and Weaknesses in Comparision to Psychoanalysis; Conclusion: What Is To Be Done? |
