Vulnerability to Psychosis: A Psychoanalytic Study of the Nature and Therapy of the Psychotic State by Franco De Masi

$87.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Psychoses

'Franco De Masi is well known for his psychoanalytic work with patients suffering psychotic illnesses. In this book, De Masi addresses the human vulnerability to psychosis, but the modest title of his book belies the depth of its investigations and conclusions. De Masi invites the reader into a thoughtf ul, systematic exploration of many aspects of the complex problems associated with psychotic illnesses: its ontogenesis and the emotional crises that lead to the dominance of psychotic thinking, the function of psychosis with regard to reality, its eruption or progression (depending upon the type of psychosis involved) and, crucially, the difficult and painstaking task of treatment.This latter theme is explored in considerable detail by De Masi and is perhaps the most telling message of this book. Example after example of his engagement with patients illuminates his central objective - the gradual disinvestment by the patient of psychic energy allocated to ostensibly protective, but ultimately self-destructive, psychotic constructions and a re-investment in neurotic or more normal psychicreality - a world the patient has had to largely forsaken under the sway of delusion...This is a relatively small book, but one that is large in scope and substantial in content. ...Show more

Psychotherapy and the Highly Sensitive Person: Improving Outcomes for That Minority of People Who are the Majority of Clients by Elaine N. Aron

$90.00 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Psychoses

Dr. Elaine Aron's newest book, Psychotherapy and the Highly Sensitive Person, redefines the term "highly sensitive" for the professional researcher and practitioner. She dispels common misconceptions about the relationship between sensitivity and other personality traits, such as introversion and shynes s, and further defines the trait for the benefit of both the clinician and patient. Readers will learn to assess for the trait, distinguish it from clinical diagnoses such as panic disorder or avoidant personality disorder, understand how sensitivity may change the presentation of a problem such as depression or shyness, and generally inform, validate, and improve the quality of life for these clients. She pays particular attention to self-esteem issues and helping patients separate effects of their innate temperament from problems due to their personal learning histories. Dr. Aron keeps both patient and practitioner in mind as she suggests ways to adapt treatment for highly sensitive persons and how to deal with the typical issues that arise. Three appendices provide the HSP Scale, a summary of the extensive research on this innate trait, and its relation to DSM diagnoses. Through this helpful guide, therapists will see a marked improvement in their ability to assist highly sensitive clients. ...Show more
