The Personal Life of the Psychotherapist
Psychotherapists are often deeply affected by the therapeutic relationships they form with patients. This book studies the impact of psychotherapeutic practice on the personal life and relationships of the therapist, examining the various personal benefits and hazards which result from conducting psychotherapy. Provides a novel approach to care for the psychotherapist, offering thoughtful, concrete suggestions for the prevention and treatment of various forms of therapist work-related impairment or disability. Avoids stressing one particular theoretical orientation over another while it confronts stereotypes regarding a career in psychotherapy. Topics covered include: the factors leading to the decision to become a psychotherapist; the impact of physical and psychological isolation on the therapist; effects of pyschotherapeutic practice on therapist's interpersonal relationships; therapist impairment; and therapist burnout. By providing information regarding the incidence, etiology, development, prevention and treatment of work-realted dysfunction, this text assists the therapist in formulating a comprehensive self-care program.
A Developmental Approach to Adult Psychopathology
A developmental approach to psychopathology based on the theory that a continuum of growth underlies all psychological processes which is manifested in a sequence of developmental stages. The book views psychopathology as a consequence of inappropriate resolution of various problems at one or more stages of development. Using this unifying framework, it reviews more than 25 years of research considering such topics as: premorbid social competence, symptomatology diagnosis, the paranoid-nonparanoid distinction in schizophrenia, the essential- reactive distinction in alcoholism, the course and outcome of psychiatric disorders, and the developmental differences in self- image. 9,000 references are included in the book.

Since publication of the first edition in 1984, DSM-III-R has appeared; DSM-IV is anticipated; data has been adduced in support of existing diagnostic categories; and new semi-structured and structured interview schedules have been developed. Taking full account of these changes, it contains 17 chapters, 10 of them totally new and the remainder substantially revised. Divided into three parts, the text begins with an overview of models of psychiatric classification and practical use of DSM-III-R. The second part offers a detailed clinical picture of specific syndromes, covering crucial diagnostic criteria, major theories of etiology and emphasis on assessment and measurement of behavior comprising the syndrome. Closes with a discussion of special topics related to DSM-III-R.
