Synopsis The goal of psychotherapy as formulated in this revision of a classic text is to improve ego function of severely disturbed patients who are often hospitalized. This book shows why and how. It describes the psychotherapeutic techniques that aid patients to understand the meaning of the psychotic symbols so that they can experience reality and their emotions as separate entities. Medication effects and the neurobiology of psychotic and near psychotic patients are explained and evaluated in terms of specific ego dysfunction so that psychopharmacology may be targeted. With the first edition originally a recipient of the prestigious Heinz Hartmann Award, this valuable resource is a go-to guide for clinicians who treat patients suffering from crippling mental disorders. About the Author Eric R. Marcus is the director of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and professor of clinical psychiatry in the department of psychiatry of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Store description
Melbourne Dynamic Therapy Bookstore – Psychodynamic Psychology & Self-Help Specialists Welcome to MDT Bookstore, an independent online bookseller with a carefully curated focus on psychodynamic psychology and self-help literature. Our shelves bring together the seminal voices of the past with the most insightful contributions of the present, creating a rich resource for anyone interested in the inner workings of the mind. From time to time, we also feature Goodreads-favourite novels and art-themed books, adding variety alongside our core focus on psychology and self-help. From the pioneering theories of Sigmund Freud to the evolving perspectives of contemporary clinicians, our collection spans more than a century of psychological thought. Whether you are seeking the foundational writings of Freud, Jung, Klein, Fairbairn, Winnicott, Bowlby, or Lacan, or exploring later developments in attachment theory, relational approaches, trauma studies, and experiential therapies, Eggy Bookstore offers an entry point into the most influential ideas in the field. Our catalogue also highlights a wide range of self-help texts that bring psychological insights into everyday life. These books, written by trusted voices in mental health, provide practical guidance for personal growth, resilience, and emotional well-being. Many titles bridge the gap between clinical theory and lived experience, making them valuable companions for readers at all stages of their journey. Who our books are for: Amateurs and general readers looking for accessible introductions to classic and modern psychology. Students and researchers who require key reference texts to support their academic work. Clinicians and therapists seeking to deepen their practice with classic works and contemporary perspectives. At MDT Bookstore, we believe that the story of psychodynamic thought is also the story of how human beings make sense of themselves and each other. Each book we carry represents a piece of this ongoing dialogue—an invitation to reflect, to question, and to grow. We take pride in offering quality editions, from rare and collectible volumes to more affordable reprints. Our aim is to make these important works accessible to readers who share a passion for psychology, whether as a profession or as a personal interest. Explore MDT Bookstore’s listings on AbeBooks and discover a library of voices that continue to shape how we understand the human mind and the healing process.We sell used and new relational psychology, art books and books of facts and fiction.…
