What is This Thing Called Love?: A Guide to Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Couples

Autor Sarah Fels Usher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2007
What is This Thing Called Love? provides a clear how-to guide for carrying out psychotherapy with couples from a psychoanalytic perspective. The book draws on both early and contemporary psychoanalytic knowledge, explaining how each theory described is useful in formulating couple dynamics and in working with them. The result is an extremely practical approach, with detailed step-by-step instructions on technique, illuminated throughout by vivid case studies.
The book focuses on several key areas including:
  • An initial discussion about theories of love.
  • Progression of therapy from beginning to termination.
  • Transference and countertransference and their unique manifestations in couples therapy.
  • Comparisons between couples therapy and individual therapy.
  • Step-by-step instruction on technique.
What is This Thing Called Love? is enlivened with humour and humanness. It is crucial reading for psychoanalytic therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, couples therapists and students who want to learn about--or augment their skills in--this challenging modality.

Recenzii

"This book is an important contribution that will help these clinicians develop the skills necessary to work with troubled marriages. Numerous clinical case presentations bring this work to life, clearly illustrating each phase of treatment." -  Lewis Aron, Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, USA
"... this is a valuable book. There is a dearth of good introductory texts in the field, and despite the omissions and questions that I have highlighted, I would recommend it to clinicians who are new to the area and wish to have a helpful, practical guide alongside them as they begin the arduous but rewarding discipline of working with couples. Reading this book will, I believe, both help them to think, and stimulate further questions, as it did for me, about the complex but fascinating clinical situation of couple psychotherapy." - Andrew Balfour, Journal of Family Therapy, Vol. 31, 2009

"...a good resource for professionals who have a kindling interest in furthering their knowledge of psychoanalytic psychotherapy...Usher writes about an often-intimidating syle of therapy in a friendly, engaging way that expresses her capacity as a well-informed and experienced professional...The format of this book includes a generous supply of helpful anecdotes, a tasteful sprinkling of humorous and thought-provoking cartoon illustrations, and a dash of heartfelt advice from the experience of a seasoned psychoanalytic therapist...this book makes for an easy and eye-opening read into the often elusive realm of psychoanalytic therapy...this work would serve well as an addition tot he developing psychoanalytic therapist's library, a potential secondary text for graduate students, or just as a brief special-interest read for therapists who have an interest in expanding their theoretical horizons." - Christopher L. Peters and Kami L. Schwerdtfeger, Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy
