PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
A Practitioner's Guide

Nancy McWilliams, Ph.D
The Guilford Press, 2004

DESCRIPTION

Addressing the art and science of psychodynamic treatment, Nancy McWilliams distills the essential principles of clinical practice, including effective listening and talking; transference and countertransference; emotional safety; and an empathic, attuned attitude toward the patient. The book describes the values, assumptions, and clinical and research findings that guide the psychoanalytic enterprise, and shows how to integrate elements of other theoretical perspectives. It discusses the phases of treatment and covers such neglected topics as educating the client about the therapeutic process, handling complex challenges to boundaries, and attending to self-care. Presenting complex information in personal, nontechnical language enriched by in-depth clinical vignettes, this is an essential psychoanalytic work and training text for therapists.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The reader will be able to:
• Apply the psychoanalytic sensibility paradigm to the analysis and treatment format
• Utilize the parameters involved with best-practice therapist's preparation
• Outline effective strategies for preparing the client
• Build the frame for the psychoanalytic process involved with any given case
• Re-examine basic therapy processes
• Compile a journal or list of ancillary lessons experienced, such as what you learned about your patient's specific conditions or about your own psychoanalytic knowledge
• Review occupational hazards and gratifications that may cause problems or disruptions in the analytic process
• Examine self-care considerations about esteem, especially those for the ego and superego
