Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice by Glen O Gabbard

Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice by Glen O Gabbard

This text expresses the basic principles of psychodynamic psychiatry and four fundamental theoretical frameworks derived from psychoanalytic theory: ego psychology, object relations theory, self psychology and attachment theory.

This new edition continues the trend towards integration of data from neuroscience research started in the last versionA burgeoning field of neuropsychoanalysis has sprung up in recent years, and the findings of neuroscientists and those who examine the interaction between genes and environment are confirming psychoanalytic views of development and the mechanisms of the mind. In this edition I have sought to weave those findings into the fabric of the first and second chapters that establish the basic principles and theoretical foundations of dynamic psychiatry. In so doing, I am once again asserting that psychodynamic psychiatrists must situate themselves firmly in a biopsychosocial context that recognizes the need to incorporate the findings of biological psychiatry into our theories about the human mind. Psychoanalytic theories of development, for example, can no longer stand apart from what we know about brain development and the impact of the environment on gene expression. - From the Preface
