Psychosomatics Today: A Psychoanalytic Perspective (The International Psychoanalytical Association Psychoanalytic Ideas And Applications Series) - 9781032106601

The revised edition of Psychosomatics Today presents a thorough introduction to the different international schools of psychosomatics, written by leading professionals, and includes three new chapters on current practice. As well as exploring key psychosomatic topics, focusing primarily on the Paris School, the Latin American School, American psychosomatic medicine and the Kleinian approach to the soma, the revised edition adds a chapter about the German School of Psychosomatics, expands upon allergic object relations and tackles the contemporary topic of overflow in theory and clinical practice. Spanning a variety of theoretical approaches, the book is illustrated by many clinical case studies which provide an engaging, holistic picture of the field, including adolescent and child therapies. Psychosomatics Today will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and in training, students of psychiatry and psychology, and paediatricians and medical practitioners seeking a fuller understanding of psychosomatics.
