Synopsis

'An up-to-date, sophisticated, and most readable approach that is novel, challenging, and provocative.' Jerome Singer, Yale University Introduction to Psychodynamics is the first comprehensive text to integrate the formulations of psychoanalysis with the exciting new developments in cognitive science. Traditional psychodynamics texts consider normal and maladaptive behavior mainly in terms of inner conflicts and unconscious motivation. In contrast, this innovative volume, by one of the country's most distinguished clinical researchers, shows how joy, sadness, fear and other states of mind derive from unconscious personal 'schemas' - structures of knowledge - that organize a person's subjective experience and patterns relating to others.
