Psychotherapy and the Remote Patient
Learn to tackle the challenge and frustration of working with the patient who eludes the good intentions of even the most seasoned therapist--the remote patient. This book is a treasury of insights, clinical theory, and experiences of seasoned therapists who are eager to describe their journey of frustration and accomplishments with this most shadowy of patients. Experts share their wisdom about these patients who are often thought of as being unworkable because they appear uninterested and ungrateful. A bundle of paradoxes, wanting and avoiding contact, being both present and absent at the same time, the remote patient has the ability to undermine the therapist's confidence and sense of effectiveness

The Art of the Public Grovel
Whether you are a politician caught carrying on with an intern or a minister photographed with a prostitute, discovery does not necessarily spell the end of your public career.

In this fascinating and important history of public confession in modern America, Bauer explains why and how a type of confession that first arose among nineteenth-century evangelicals has today become the required form for any successful public admission of wrongdoing--even when the wrongdoer has no connection with evangeli...
Building on Bion-- Branches
The enduring influence of Bion's work is the central theme of this book. Chapters by distinguished international contributors from the fields of psychoanalysis, group analysis, management consultancy and social science cover work with large groups, Bion and the Tavistock conferences, and his ideas about thinking, learning, dreams and mentality.
Annals of Theoretical Psychology
As such things happen, several manuscripts in the present volume were under review prior to the ones that appeared in Volume I of the Annals. A major difficulty encountered in the preparation of these volumes apart from working up to three years in advance of publication-is elic iting appropriate commentary. If this format is to succeed, the com mentary must be both engaging to the reader and satisfying to the author. It is not yet clear how successful we have been in this regard and, indeed, we do not feel bound to publish commentary with each manuscript that is accepted for publication. Nevertheless, we do invite readers' commentaries on published materials. The contributions by Jan Smedsl...
A Systems-Centered Approach to Inpatient Group Psychotherapy
Systems-centered therapy is theory driven, therefore every intervention is in fact an hypothesis that tests both the validity of the theory and the reliability of its practice as it applies to short and long-term therapy with individuals, families, couples and groups. This book is built around the transcript of an inpatient therapy session, giving the reader the opportunity to follow verbatim how systems-centered therapy actually works. The script tracks the initial techniques that introduce systems-centered norms to a group. These include encouraging patients to explore their experience instead of explaining it, and to join together in subgroups around the common human resistances that inte...
