A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Dr Hickey's book is not only an excellent and highly educational introduction to ISTDP, but also the only reference work so far for Habib Davanloo's latest research, including the technique of multidimensional unconscious structural changes, the concepts of fusion, healthy and impaired defensive organisation, intergenerational transmission of neurosis and his totally new approach to transference neurosis. With great dedication, Dr Hickey describes the meticulous work of the reconstruction of a damaged human being and shares with us the deeply moving journey from neurotic destructiveness, guilt and slavery to freedom, love and forgiveness. --Camille Stemper, MD, psychiatrist, and co-coordinator of Davanloo's Annual Montreal Metapsychology Symposia, 2007-2015

In clear prose illustrated with powerful clinical transcripts, Dr Hickey shares Dr Davaloo's most recent contributions to the understanding of human psychology. Written with a skilled integration of precision in language required of a scientific text, and a compelling sense of narrative in the clinical material, this book is sure to find its way into the psychiatric literature as both an engaging read and as a reference to be kept. --James Q. Schubmehl, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of Rochester School of Medicine, New York

In Dr Hickey's text, readers who are familiar with the work of Dr Davanloo will recognise a familiar theoretical landscape while being invited into a brave new appreciation of the unconscious. The truly ingenious dimension of Dr Hickey's work is that she accomplishes all of this while clinically and graciously moving through the transformative journey of one particular patient. --The Rev. Canon Dr Jody Clarke, Associate Professor, Practical Theology, Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax, Nova Scotia

Présentation de l'éditeur

The objective of this book is to update dynamic psychotherapists on the latest findings in Davanloo's Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (IS-TDP). Previous authors have sometimes presented a simplistic, reductionist version of the technique to the public, and the current book is important because it offers the broadest and most up-to-date treatment of the subject, written by a psychiatrist who has attended Davanloo's closed circuit training program for the past eight years. Clear and well-organized prose introduces important technical concepts that had not been previously discussed.

The book is divided into three main sections. These include sections on basic theoretical principles of Davanloo's work, application of his new principles and research/future directions. The book begins with an opening chapter on Davanloo's metapsychology of the unconscious. Following this chapter, major mobilisation of the unconscious will be explored in detail. This important concept will be reviewed in the context of Davanloo's closed circuit training program which has unique learning and experiential features.

A number of important newer topics are also explored. These concepts will be made less abstract and more tangible as they are illustrated through a case study of an individual who was interviewed in the closed circuit training program. These interviews, in their totality, are not available in any other format. The book ends with a section on future directions for research, neuroimaging, and competency-based education.
