Beskrivning
Interpersonal psychoanalytic theory states that people can achieve insight into how, through interactions with people, they became who they are, and how they can change patterns of living that limit further satisfaction. People are born with a blueprint for growth and development that includes self-respect, joy, expansion of experiences, creativity, and ever widening and deepening human interactions. With some exceptions, the mental health profession in the United States is dictated by insurance and pharmaceutical companies, focusing primarily on symptom reduction and social conformity. These goals are inadequate. The goal, as elucidated in this book, is maximizing one's human potential. Interpersonal Psychoanalytic Theory for the 21st Century: Evolving Self is written for practitioners in all areas of mental health and pedagogy, whether or not they are psychotherapists or clinicians. It is also intended for anyone interested in understanding themselves and other people. Additionally, in the spirit of Harry Stack Sullivan, developer of the theory, this volume addresses some pressing issues relevant to interpersonal theory and practice in the twenty-first century social/economic/political milieu.

Recensioner i media

This volume builds on the idea, developed by psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan in the first half of the 20th century, that the social experiences between people, particularly those close to them, determine their sense of self and guide their behavior. The authors seek to update this theory with an eye toward clinical applications for 21st-century conditions. Examples include treatment of individuals with LGBTQIA+ identities, changing views of so-called mental disorders, and changing household environments. The theory and its associated "talk" therapies are counters to the prevalent psychiatric perspectives that the authors claim are wrongly couched in short-term drug fixes and guided by pressures from insurance companies rather than by evidence of long-term changes in behavioral patterns. Related to classical psychoanalytic thought, the theory builds on concepts of developmental eras and particularly the formative experiences one has during childhood. Considering rapidly changing notions of adolescence in the 21st century, the authors provide intriguing insights into the influence of the "juvenile era" and preadolescence on personality and behavior. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
