Description
Catch Them Before They Fall: A New Approach to Psychoanalysis This book offers a radical approach to treating individuals on the verge of mental breakdown. Christopher Bollas proposes that a breakdown can be an opportunity for transformative understanding, but only if caught in time. He argues that conventional treatments such as hospitalization and medication may negate this potential. Bollas suggests that extended, intensive psychoanalysis could be a more effective approach for patients experiencing a crisis. This book presents his ideas and invites debate, with Sacha Bollas responding to questions and concerns in the final section. For clinicians seeking new ways to address mental breakdown, this book will provide valuable insights into an alternative clinical paradigm.
