Understanding Transference

In the first volume of Understanding Transference: The CCRT Method, Luborsky and Christoph provided concrete validation of Freud's observations about transference. Using Lester Luborsky's core conflictual relationship theme (CCRT) method, they demonstrated how to reliably measure recurring patterns in patients' central relationships and how to explore such patterns within both psychodynamic and other types of therapies. This edition seeks to show why the CCRT method is a good empirical measure of transference and why it continues to be used by researchers and clinicians.

  • Publisher: Unknown

In this splendid book a master psychotherapist, one of the field's most respected researchers, provides the first definitive account of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in manual format. What distinguishes this book from other guides to therapy is the way in which the author systematically demystifies the therapeutic process, taking the reader step by step through a sequence of specific intervention strategies.The book offers the essence of psychoanalytic psychotherapy by extracting the treatment principles from Freud's six papers on technique and the Menninger Foundation tradition of supportive-expressive psychotherapy. At the heart of the expressive techniques is the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme method of delineating the transference pattern and providing a focus for the therapist's responses. Both the short-term and the usual open-ended treatment are presented. Each technique is illustrated by clinical vignettes. Precise measurement scales for each technique make it easy to evaluate the therapist's performance. Therapists, clinical supervisors, and researchers will all find this book to be a valuable source of practical information and inspiration.

The Working Alliance

In the past decade, the working alliance has emerged as possibly the most important conceptualization of the common elements in diverse therapy modalities. Created to define the relationship between a client in therapy or counseling and the client's therapist, it is a way of looking at and examining the vagaries and expectations and commitments previously implicit in the therapeutic relationship, explaining the cooperative aspects of the alliance between the two parties.

"As we enter a new era of scientific evaluation and acceptance of Freud's ideas, psychodynamic practitioners need to be aware of the most valid and clinically useful findings relevant to their everyday work with patients. This handbook meets that need by integrating the best contributions of the clinical psychoanalytic literature with the latest generation of clinical-quantitative research, and translating these findings into pragmatic clinical wisdom about what works and what doesn't." "In twenty-six chapters, forty-nine leading authorities and clinician-researchers discuss what is known about selecting patients, defining treatments, and measuring key processes and outcomes. The findings in...

The Foundations of Psychoanalysis

This study is a philosophical critique of the foundations of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. As such, it also takes cognizance of his claim that psychoanalysis has the credentials of a natural science. It shows that the reasoning on which Freud rested the major hypotheses of his edifice was fundamentally flawed, even if the probity of the clinical observations he adduced were not in question. Moreover, far from deserving to be taken at face value, clinical data from the psychoanalytic treatment setting are themselves epistemically quite suspect.

Lay Analysis: Life Inside the Controversy chronicles the history of nonmedical analysis in absorbing detail. It begins with the events of 1910 in Europe and America that initiated their divergent attitudes and policies regarding lay analysis, proceeds to the unfolding struggles over this issue on both sides of the Atlantic, and reviews the halting efforts of the APsaA, beginning in the 1950s, to reassess its opposition to lay analysis and make some provision for the training of nonmedical practitioners. Wallerstein's illuminating treatment of the response of American nonphysician therapists to the APsaA's policy - the manner in which they managed to obtain clinical psychoanalytic training de...
