Description
Psychodynamic Treatment of Depression addresses the
use of psychodynamic psychotherapy, both alone and in combination with
cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and medication treatments, as a method
for reducing the psychological vulnerabilities that may predispose patients
to persistent symptoms or recurrence of depression. Thoroughly revised and
with new material, the second edition reflects changes codified in the DSM-5
classification and is intended for use by students, residents, or clinicians
who are trained in the practice of psychotherapy. The authors' extensive
clinical experience is thoroughly mined to provide techniques for tailoring
the psychodynamic psychotherapeutic approach to patients with depression,
and important topics such as narcissistic injury and vulnerability, guilt,
defense mechanisms, and suicidality are addressed. The book is written in an
accessible style and structured logically to support the acquisition and
enhancement of psychotherapeutic skills through the systematic exploration
of the psychodynamic model of depression.
The volume's noteworthy
content and features are many:
* Just as patients' responses to medications vary, responses to
particular therapeutic interventions are different in different patients.
Accordingly, the authors locate psychodynamic psychotherapy within the
context of current treatments for depression, including indications and
contraindications.
* A multitude of detailed and compelling clinical
vignettes clearly illustrate the dynamics and techniques and facilitate
learning across diverse clinical roles and practice settings.
* A
chapter on psychodynamic approaches to depression with comorbid personality
disorder has been added to the new edition, because these disorders have
been found to have an adverse effect on treatment outcome, including
diminished response to antidepressants, reduced adherence to treatment, and
longer time period to achieve remission.
There is a growing
evidence base for the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy, both
alone and in tandem with other treatment modalities. Psychodynamic
Treatment of Depression offers a robust model of psychodynamic
therapy for depression and the detailed strategies and techniques clinicians
need to improve outcomes with this significant patient group.

Reviews / Votes
The authors succeed in crafting a book that is asapproachable and relevant as it is educational and progressive. Their
balanced approach invites readers to examine their own interactions with
patients and think critically about how applied psychodynamic principles
could improve depressive symptoms. Of equal utility is the authors'
inclusion of relevant areas of special concern, such as patients with
comorbid personality disorders - a cohort with whom it can be exceedingly
frustrating and difficult to work. As a psychiatry resident, I found the
case vignettes extremely useful as a practical way to explore the concepts
of psychodynamics. While the authors obviously emphasize a psychological
approach, they have a balanced view of mental illness and treatment. They
clearly espouse the en vogue biopsychosociospiritual approach. Indeed, such
a respectful and balanced view certainly builds a healthy bridge between
psychiatry and psychology. I will continue to highly recommend this book to
my colleagues, as it has already proven to be a valuable tool for my
training. -- Cameron J. Risma, M.D. * Doody's Book Review *
