Bücher der Reihe Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Assessment in the Twenty-first Century

Certain persons do not benefit from psychotherapy or drop out prematurely. In Guided Enactments in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Sebastiano Santostefano provides research- supported concepts that can help therapists identify these persons. Santostefano also offers techniques that promote an interpersonal alliance and resolve emotions related to traumatic experiences that interfere with therapy.

From Sign to Symbol describes emerging approaches to the unconscious experience and the development of emotional meaning in intersubjective, implicit relationships. The book presents strategies that utilize symmetrical, impactful interventions in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and psychotherapy supervision.

Psychodynamics Commencing in Early Childhood adds to an understanding of the psychodynamics that are associated with and derived from early-life development. Marvin P. Osman draws on copious case material and research to document the effects of an unresolved separation-individuation process and earlier Oedipus complex on persons in later life.

In Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty: Struggling with a Shadow of a Doubt, Moshe Marcus and Steven Tuber examine the structural and intrapsychic features of the self as presented within OCD compulsive doubting, and more broadly, within OCD compulsions. Marcus and Tuber further elucidate central object-relational paradigms within OCD doubting and suggest a broader framework that can be used to consider the interplay between both the cognitive as well as the affective components required to make judgments.
