Interactional Psychotherapy of Anxiety Disorders

One of the underlying ideas of interactional psychotherapy is that the treatment of mental disorders is basically a process of emotional reeducation. There are three phases in interactional therapy: (1) the analytic phase, (2) the search for identity, and (3) self-realization. (17 pp.)

Psychotherapy with Schizophrenic Patients

With some patients, one must be supportive, with some not. I suggest certain basic rules related mainly to the three clinical types with variations necessitated by the level of regression. But even this is not enough. One has to allow a large margin for the personality of the therapist. There are general principles, but each therapist applies them differently in a way appropriate to his own potentialities and to the needs of a particular patient. (49 pp.)

Depression:The Psychosocial Theory

The term depression is used to describe a variety of negative feelings, such as frustration, disappointment, mourning, and so on. Depression as a psychopathological term means the feeling of helplessness associated with blaming oneself for being helpless. Helpless anger directed against oneself and others and feeling guilty for being weak are the essential elements of depression. Psychosocial depression is dysmutual, that is, related to imbalances and shifts in moods and social relations. (73 pp.)

Interactional Psychotherapy

(27 pp.)

Defining Anxiety

The issue of anxiety is analyzed in this chapter in the framework of power and acceptance theory.

Anxiety and Related Disorders: A Handbook

There has been enormous progress in our understanding of the origins of clinical anxiety as well as in our ability to treat it, but there is yet no consensus as to its causes and cures.  Over the course of twenty-one chapters, distinguished representatives from most major schools of thought offer their approaches to and insights into etiology, dynamics, symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment strategies, and more. (771 pp.)

Depressive Disorders: Facts, Theories, and Treatment

“In 20 very substantive chapters written by 26 outstanding authors, this volume spans three general areas: theories of depression, symptomatology of the depressive syndrome, and clinical treatments for affective disorders. Each section is highly informative and broadly representative of the field. Behavioral, cognitive, psychoanalytic, interpersonal, biological, and genetic perspectives are all well-represented. Even more exceptional, perhaps, is that almost every chapter is remarkably evenhanded and thorough…A valuable contribution to the field. Having coordinated and constructed broad-minded yet discerning review of so many aspects of depression, these editors and authors provide numerous opportunities for the reader to explore and integrate wide-ranging perspectives on affective disorders. Students, faculty, and professionals alike would do well to add this book to their personal libraries.”
