Adolescent Identity Treatment: An Integrative Approach for Personality Pathology is a ground breaking title that provides general and specific clinical strategies to help adolescents who lack an integrated identity. The authors have developed a treatment based on the integration of object relations theory, family systems, attachment, developmental neurobiology and cognitive behavioral approaches that focuses on clearing blockages to normal identity development and adaptive functioning. While most adolescents build satisfying interpersonal relationships, are successful in school and work and begin romantic relationships, there is a minority of adolescents who do not succeed in this and are at...

This book analyses the clinical interaction between depression and personality dysfunction to help clinicians better understand and treat patients with complex depression. It proposes an innovative perspective to clinical work that moves away from a disorder-centered approach to a person-centered approach by analysing complex depression through the lens of functional domains related to personality functioning and applying Research Domain Criteria to diagnosis and treatment planning. By doing so, it aims to contribute to the development of precision psychotherapy by applying the principles of precision medicine to mental health care. The book is divided in two parts. Chapters in the first par...
OPD-CA-2, the multiaxial diagnostic system for psychodynamically oriented psychiatrists and therapists, now for children and adolescents. Following the success of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis for Adults (OPD-2), this multiaxial diagnostic and classification system based on psychodynamic principles has now been adapted for children and adolescents by combining psychodynamic, developmental, and clinical psychiatric perspectives. The OPD-CA-2 is based on four axes that are aligned with the new dimensional approach in the DSM-5: I = interpersonal relations, II = conflict, III = structure, and IV = prerequisites for treatment. After an initial interview, the clinician (or researcher) can evaluate the patient's psychodynamics according to these axes to get a comprehensive psychodynamic view of the patient. Easy-to-use checklists and evaluation forms are provided. The set of tools and procedures the OPD-CA-2 manual provides have been widely used for assessing indications for therapy, treatment planning, and measuring change, as well as providing information for parental work.
Während der Großteil der Adoleszenten befriedigende zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen aufbaut, erfolgreich in der Schule und bei der Arbeit ist sowie erste romantische Partnerschaften hat, gibt es eine Minderheit von Adoleszenten, denen dies nicht gelingt. Diese Jugendlichen haben ein hohes Risiko, vermehrt Probleme in der Schule und bei der Arbeit, in der Familie, in intimen und zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen zu entwickeln. Dabei kommt der Gefahr, eine Identitätsdiffusion mit ihren dazugehörigen Psychopathologien zu entwickeln, eine signifikante Bedeutung zu. AIT hat zum Ziel, Blockaden zu lösen, die eine normale Identitätsentwicklung behindern, um somit langfristig ein adaptiveres Fu...

Many of those who need and receive social-education offers have in fact mental disorders. For this reason it is important to keep the psychiatric perspectives in mind in order to provide optimal care.This handbook is unique in its interdisciplinary approach to the commonalities and differences in the theory, profession and practice of social education and psychiatry. The situations and social problems of people in all phases of life, from early childhood to old age, are presented here. The authors make the case for developing a common understanding of such cases, which would equally benefit both disciplines and professions. Applied models of multiprofessional cooperation are presented for selected syndromes and problem areas.
In the first book to argue that neurotic, psychotic, and borderline personality disorders can be identified, diagnosed, and treated even in the young, a renowned child psychiatrist marshalls her developmental perspective and adduces clinical evidence to support it. Kernberg and her colleagues elucidate assessment criteria and advance therapeutic approaches for each disorder.
Psychodynamische Diagnostik speziell für die Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und -psychotherapie. Die psychische Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen bedarf einer eigenen Herangehensweise in der psychodynamischen Diagnostik. Nach dem erfolgreichen Vorbild der Operationalisierten Psychodynamischen Diagnostik für Erwachsene (OPD-2) wurden die psychodynamischen Konzepte operationalisiert, um ihre Vieldeutigkeit zu verringern. Das Ergebnis ist das vorliegende Manual, das sich als fakultative, modular aufgebaute psychodynamische Diagnostik in Ergänzung zum «Multiaxialen Klassifikationsschema» (MAS) versteht. Es arbeitet mit den Achsen •Beziehung •Konflikt •Struktur •Behandlungsvora...
The Sociology of Mental Health and Illness explains sociology’s key contributions to our understanding of mental health, and serves as a strong counterpoint to the medical approach to the subject. Using both micro and macro-level theories, particularly social constructionism, the text shows the subjective nature of mental illness and systems of diagnosis and treatment. It also emphasizes how social conditions and relationships create life pathways toward mental health and psychological struggles, and uses the concept of "patient career" to describe how individuals interact with mental health professionals. In addition, the text explores the connections between mental health and social problems such as terrorism, substance abuse, criminal violence, suicide, and domestic violence.
