Description: Psychoanalytic Diagnosis : Understanding Personality Structure in the Clinical Process, Hardcover by McWilliams, Nancy, ISBN 1609184947, ISBN-13 9781609184940, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK McWilliams (applied and professional psychology, Rutgers U.) offers a guide for mental health practitioners and graduate students that overviews psychoanalytic personality theory and its implications for clinical practice. She outlines a rationale for character diagnosis, influential psychoanalytic theories pertaining to character structure, individual differences that embody different maturational challenges, therapeutic implications, and how analytic theory provides tools for seeing patients as complex wholes, rather than collections of symptoms. In the second part, she focuses on major personality types and the clinical problems presented by patients of each, their drives, affect, and temperament; defensive and adaptive processes; early relational patterns; experiences of the self; differential diagnosis; and transference and countertransference. This edition incorporates advances in attachment theory, neuroscience, and the study of trauma; covers the contemporary relational movement in psychoanalysis; and has new case examples, an expanded section on somatization, and a revised review of defenses.
