Description
Introduction to Psychoanalysis: Contemporary Theory and Practice by Anthony Bateman, Jeremy Holmes, and Elizabeth Allison provides a comprehensive overview of psychoanalysis in its modern form. This book explores how psychoanalysis has evolved since its inception, examining the key theories and techniques that underpin contemporary practice. The first part of the book delves into the origins of psychoanalysis, tracing the development of post-Freudian schools such as neo-Freudian, Kleinian, interpersonal, self-psychological, and Lacanian. The second part presents clinical illustrations to demonstrate the practical application of psychoanalytic technique in the consulting room. Suitable for mental health professionals and those interested in the treatment of mental health, this book offers an accessible and up-to-date account of psychoanalysis today.
