Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM)
This manual is based on current neuroscience and treatment outcome studies that demonstrate the importance of focusing on the full range and depth of emotional and social functioning. Beginning with a classification of the spectrum of personality patterns and disorders found in individuals and then describing a profile of mental functioning that permits a clinician to look in detail at each of the patient's capacities, the entries include a description of the patient's symptoms with a focus on the patient's internal experiences as well as surface behaviors. Intended to expand on the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)and ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) efforts in cataloging the symptoms and behaviors of mental health patients, this manual opens the door to a fuller understanding of the functioning of the mind, brain, and their development.
Psychoanalytic Case Formulation
What kinds of questions do experienced clinicians ask themselves when meeting a new client for the first time? What are the main issues that must be explored to gain a basic grasp of each individual's unique psychology? How can clinical expertise be taught?

Synthesizing extensive clinical literature, diverse psychoanalytic viewpoints, and empirical research in psychology and psychiatry, Nancy McWilliams does more than simply bring assessment to life - she illuminates the entire psychotherapeutic process.

Psychodynamic Formulation
How do our patients come to be the way they are? What forces shape their conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings? How can we use this information to best help them?

It can help clinicians in all mental health setting understand their patients, set treatment goals, choose therapeutic strategies, construct meaningful interventions and conduct treatment. Despite the centrality of psychodynamic formulation to our work with patients, few students are taught how to construct them in a clear systematic way. This book offers students and practitioners from all field...
Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics
The diagnosis of mental and psychosomatic disorders is currently dominated by operationalized systems of diagnosis, the most important of which are DSM-IV and ICD-10. Unfortunately, psychodynamic aspects were neglected during this purely phenomenology-based operationalization. And at the same time, psychoanalytical diagnostics (in the stricter sense of the term) has remained full of contradictions. This book aims to resolve this dilemma. It presents an operationalized psychodynamic approach to diagnosis, based on a multiaxial system. The Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (OPD) system is based on five axes: I = Experience of illness and prerequisites for treatment; II = Interpersonal relations; III = Conflicts; IV = Structure; and V = Mental and psychosomatic disorders. It is this Vth axis that allows the OPD diagnosis to be related to the ICD-10 and DSM-IV classifications. A diagnostic questionnaire and assessment forms (reprinted in the book) simplify the use of the OPD in practice.

Gabbard, M.D. Each contributor has extensive clinical experience, and some also have research experience, with the assessment and treatment of specific personality disorders.
The Making of DSM-III
This book chronicles how American psychiatry went from its psychoanalytic heyday in the 1940s and '50s, through the virulent anti-psychiatry of the 1960s and '70s, into the late 20th-century descriptive, criteria-grounded model of mental disorders.
