Product Description
Product Description
Winner of the 2003 Gradiva Award and the 2003 Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic Scholarship
Arguing for the importance of attachment and emotionality in the developing human consciousness, four prominent analysts explore and refine the concepts of mentalization and affect regulation. Their bold, energetic, and encouraging vision for psychoanalytic treatment combines elements of developmental psychology, attachment theory, and psychoanalytic technique. Drawing extensively on case studies and recent analytic literature to illustrate their ideas, Fonagy, Gergely, Jurist, and Target offer models of psychotherapy practice that can enable the gradual development of mentalization and affect regulation even in patients with long histories of violence or neglect. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
It took a number of attempts to really digest this immensely interesting book. In fact at times it was hard work but it was only pure determination that kept me going! The book is explaining complicated processes and at times the writing complicates it somewhat further. I was relieved to discover that some of my contemporaries also had the same experience and it was not just me!
But overall a book that is well worth investing the time in. It is most definitely a move forward from earlier theories of 'development of a sense of self' and has been invaluable in my own research on this issue. It certainly opened my eyes. In particular I like the concept of the 'Alien Self'. But you will have to read it for yourselves to find out what I am referring to!
I would most definitely read it again.

changing the way we think of infant-parent interactions
25 Sep 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book and this theory provide a comprehensive framework for understanding both infant/human development AND infant-parent relationships. More importantly, the book suggests what exactly it is that clinicians are or strive to be doing as they implement infant-parent psychotherapy and other infant mental health interventions with high risk families. This book brought together years of my own self-study in IMH, helping me develop an integrated framework for my work with families of young children. Actually, this framework impacts the work I do with people of all ages. It helps me define what clinical practice is.

Wonderful
6 Dec 2004
Format:Hardcover
Mainstream psychoanalytic writing does not get any clearer, more useful, or more compassionate than this sober, rigorous examination of attachment theory and theory of mind in light of well-known psychoanalytic ideas. A masterpiece.

A major new approach to diagnosis & theory
10 April 2003
Format:Hardcover
Fonagy, et al present a thorough and careful reconsideration of the nature and etiology of psychological symptoms and syndromes. They integrate the latest relational concepts of psychoanalytic thinking with the latest concepts of neuropsychology. The result is both radically new and consistent with the best of the foundations of psychoanalyis (Pierre Janet's 19th century understanding of the role of trauma; Freud's pre-recantation focus on trauma).
The writing varies from chapter to chapter, apparently with different authors (not identified by chapter). It is consistently relevant and worthwhile, but some chapters are clearly written and easy to follow, while others are a bit turgid and require dedicated attention.
