Psychodynamic-Interpersonal Therapy: A Conversational Model, (Hardcover)

'Long-awaited' does not do justice to the celebrations which this comprehensive account of Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy compiled by its master-practitioners will evoke. PIT is a miraculous blend of art (metaphor and the Romantic poets), science (robust outcome-process studies of depression, Medically Unexplained Symptoms, and Borderline Personality Disorder) and existential-Self psychology (from passivity to activity; more secure and reflexive sense of Self). Like PIT itself, the book is highly practical, experience-near, transparent, and well-structured. Concise and indispensable, it will help psychotherapists of all stages and stripes to become better therapists -- perhaps even better people!' - Prof Jeremy Holmes MD FRCPsych?, University of Exeter, UK
