Understanding and Treating Patients in Clinical Psychoanalysis: Lessons from Literature
Autor Sandra Buechleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2014
Drawing on the work of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Munro, Mann, James, O’Connor, Chopin, McCullers, Carver, and the many other authors represented here, Buechler shows how their keen observational short fiction portrays self-hurtful styles of living. She explores how human beings cope using schizoid, paranoid, grandiose, hysteric, obsessive, and other defensive styles. Each is costly, in many senses, and each limits the possibility for happiness and fulfillment.
Understanding and Treating Patients in Clinical Psychoanalysis offers insights into what living with and working with problematic behaviors really means through a series of examples of the major personality disorders as portrayed in literature. Through these fictitious examples, clinicians and trainees, and undergraduate and graduate students can gain a greater understanding of how someone becomes paranoid, schizoid, narcissistic, obsessive, or depressive, and how that affects them, and those around them, including the mental health professionals who work with them.

Recenzii
"In her latest book, Understanding and Treating Patients in Clinical Psychoanalysis: Lessons from Literature, Sandra Buechler summarizes and quotes from a myriad of the best works of fiction that depict the ways people address the challenge of being a person. The book stands out for its originality and vivid, creative style. It really is a double pleasure to read, firstly for the author's deft summaries of the stories, followed by her marvelously insightful comments and interpretations. Her choice of fictional works is every book lover's dream and she uses each one to narrate and share some important psychoanalytic concepts in a fresh and engaging way. To me, it is almost as though each illustrative story were a musical note added to the score of a symphony, with, of course, Sandra Buechler as its composer. What a masterpiece she has created. I enjoyed this book immensely and cannot recommend it highly enough."—Antonino Ferro, President of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society
"Sandra Buechler continues in the spirit that Freud initiated over one hundred years ago. She uses vivid, compelling short fiction to udnerstand the repetitive ways human beings engage in self-defeating patterns. She, too, believes that good literature can offer a clinician considerable insight into the problems of his or her patients. [...] [Short] stories can be read within a week, making them ideal for teaching. [...] [She] aims at getting at the heart of what it means to suffer. [...] This effort is about patients in their full, complex humanity rather than as simple diagnostic codes. [...] We learn from her that good fiction can organize our understanding, perhaps not unlike what a good therapist does. Without reducing her argument to analyzable abstractions, Buechler expands the outer limits of our knowing and our imagining." --Spyros D. Orfanos, PsyCRITIQUES, October 2015
