Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice by Glen O Gabbard Md

Long-awaited, this fifth edition of Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice has been thoroughly revised in light of the new DSM-5 categories while maintaining its focus on the individual patient's specific needs and complexities. The author has restructured the text for maximum utility and enhanced understanding.

This is a remarkable bookIt should be used with all psychiatrists in training as a methodology for understanding dynamic psychiatry, and learning how well it works when used appropriately. I do appreciate that the author states there are patients for whom this is not the best approach. He does a good job of presenting supportive research about the benefits of dynamic therapy/psychiatry, though it is a bit overstated at times. I really enjoyed reading about the psychodynamic understanding of each illness/disorder. The author comments that the book was delayed until DSM-5 was widely circulated, while voicing his disagreements with the new criteria. All in all, this is an excellent book that I will recommend to trainees and attendings alike.
