Necessary Reading,
By
This review is from: Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics (Hardcover)
This book is as relevant now as it was nearly thirty years ago for anyone aspiring to working in psychotherapy. I consider David Malan to be iconic in the evolution of psychotherapy; counsellors, psychotherapists,students alike ignore him at their peril! Via many interesting and illuminating casework examples linked to theory, the book offers basic principles which underpin the whole concept of psychotherapy. Beautifully written and easily absorbed.

Essential reading,
By
This review is from: Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics (Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)
As a first year traineee, I wish this had been on our booklist. Whilst I suspect all psychodynamic trainees will cover the Malan triangles, this book is so much more. Even if you don't plan on doing time limited work, having a clear structure and approach is a great starting point, and the early chapters are useful for everone. The examples from clients are really useful and aid the clarity. This book is clearly written, I found it hard to put down, and have re-read it several times.

Psychodynamic clarity!!,
By Urban Scrawl (Belfast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics (Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)
This is probably the best introduction to the psychodynamic approach that I have read. It gently opens with everyday human interaction and stories and builds theory around them. It is chock-full of case studies, examples and evaluations of 'typical' psychodynamic interpretations with the aim of guiding the reader in being considerate of a range of responses. As a person centred counsellor, I consider this book essential reading for anyone providing counselling and especially for those wishing to gain a good footing in a psychodynamic approach.
The core of the book revolves around Malan's two triangles: the triangle of conflict and the triangle of persons. The triangle of conflict contains the following corners: Defence, Anxiety and Hidden Feeling. These offer a point of reference in working with the presenting issues. To quote Malan: "(He) has told the therapist very clearly that the patient's inability to feel is a Defence against the Anxiety of losing the girl and being exposed to overwhelming grief (the Hidden Feeling)". Similarly the triangle of persons has the following corners: Other, Transference and Parent or Sibling. The idea here is to trace how the presenting issue arises in these three environments: in the person's work/home life (Other), in the therapy room (Transference) and childhood (Parent). And the book contains much more, including the following chapter titles: Problems of femininity and sexuality in women, Problems of masculinity and sexuality in men, The relation with the therapist: Transference, An introduction to depression... I would consider this book to be worthwhile for the practicing therapist who wishes to be more attentive to unconscious communication and developmental issues.
