Fairbairn Then and Now
by
Fairbairn, Then and Now is a landmark volume, because a thorough grasp of W. R. D. Fairbairn's contribution is crucial to understanding the turn toward relational thinking that swept psychoanalysis in the 1980s and 1990s. This is a particularly propitious time for renewed focus on Fairbairn's contribution. A wealth of previously unpublished material has recently emerged, and the implications of Fairbairn's ideas for current developments in trauma, dissociation, infant research, self theory, field theory, and couple and family therapy are becoming increasingly clear The conference that stimulated the contributions to this volume by internationally eminent Fairbairn clinicians and scholars was a historically important event, and Fairbairn, Then and Now makes the intellectual ferment generated by this event available to all interested readers.

Psychoanalytic Therapy and the Gay Man
by Jack Drescher
Do the conventional insights of depth psychology have anything to offer the gay patient? Can contemporary psychoanalytic theory be used to make sense of gay identities in ways that are helpful rather than hurtful, respectful rather than retraumatizing? In Psychoanalytic Therapy and the Gay Man jack Drescher addresses these very questions as he outlines a therapeutic approach to issues of sexual identity that is informed by traditional therapeutic goals (such as psychological integration and more authentic living) while still respecting, even honoring, variations in sexual orientation. Drescher's exploration of the subjectivities of gay men in psychoanalytic psychotherapy is more than a long-overdue corrective to the inadequate and often pathologizing tomes of traditional psychoanalytic writers. It is a vitally human testament to the richly varied inner experiences of gay men. Drescher does not assume that sexual orientation is the entire or even major focus of intensive psychotherapy. But he does argue, passionately and convincingly that issues of sexual identity -- which encompass a spectrum of possibilities for any gay man -- must be addressed in an atmosphere of honest encounter that allows not only for exploration of conflict and dissociation but also for restitutive confirmation of the patient's right to be himself. Through its abundance of first-person testimony from both clinical and literary sources. Psychoanalytic Therapy and the Gay Man provides the reader with an unforgettable grasp of what it is like to discover that one is gay in our society and then to find the courage and humanity to live with that knowledge. Any mental health professional -- regardless of his or hersexual orientation -- who wishes to deal therapeutically with gay men will find Drescher's work indispensable. But it will also be compelling reading for anyone seeking psychological insight into gay men's lives and concerns. Here is a book in which Harry Stack Sullivan's maxim -- "We are more simply human than otherwise" -- has found a remarkable new application that will forever change the reader's understanding of both the varieties of gay subjectivity and the possibilities of psychotherapy.
Psychoanalytic Therapy As Health Care
by
What are the prospects for psycho-analysis in an era of managed health care, preoccupied as it is with cost effectiveness and the notion of "medical necessity"? And what are the opportunities and dangers for psychoanalytic therapies in the emerging health-care delivery systems of the next century? In Psychoanalytic Therapy as Health Care, a timely and trenchant consideration of the clash of values between managed care and psychoanalysis, contributors elaborate a thoughtful defense of the therapeutic necessity and social importance of contemporary psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches in the provision of mental health care. Collectively, the contributors to Psychoanalytic Therapy as Health Care convincingly refute the claim that psychoanalytically informed therapy is an esoteric treatment suited only to the "worried well." Drawing on a wide range of clinical and empirical evidence, they forcefully argue that contemporary psychoanalytic approaches are applicable to seriously distressed persons in a variety of treatment contexts. Failure to include such longterm therapies within health care delivery systems, they conclude, will deprive many patients of help they need -- and help from which they can benefit in enduring ways that far transcend the limited treatment goals of managed care. Psychodynamic clinicians owe a debt of gratitude to Harriet Kaley and her coeditors for this invigorating defense of insight and meaningful personality change in the face of a system increasingly content with criteria of serviceability, baseline functionality, and other lesser gods.
