The American Psychiatric Publishing textbook of psychoanalysis

About this book

The therapeutic practice and theory that began with Freud is described in full in this textbook, with sections on central concepts, developmental theory, treatment and technique, research, the history of psychoanalysis, and its practice in conjunction with other disciplines. Each chapter is authored by a specialist, most of whom teach and practice in the US. (The editors state that the North American practice is the text's basic model). A useful glossary of terms is provided.
