Paperback. Etat : New. The author of Doing Supportive Psychotherapy set out to address a paradox: although conducting psychotherapy is one of the most intimate and exciting things a mental health professional can do, many textbooks on the subject are dull, with formal, stilted dialogue between patient and therapist which prompts the question, "Does anyone really talk like that?" This text was designed to be different. In a dynamic, informal style, the book draws the reader in, providing the essential building blocks that are both applicable to any mental health discipline and compatible with any type of psychotherapy. The dozens of case examples presented were taken from actual cases and illustrate a full range of interactions?from the excellent to the seemingly ineffective: all have instructional value. Likewise, the dialogue between therapist and patient is conversational in a realistic way, sometimes eloquent, sometimes not. This approach gives the reader a true sense of the scope of the therapeutic interaction. In addition, the underlying structure of the book is logical and easy to grasp, beginning with the evolution of supportive psychotherapy and ending with a chapter on termination. ? The principles of learning to do a psychodynamic formulation are outlined in a step-by-step fashion, making it easy to learn, progress, and practice.? The concepts and techniques explored throughout the book are grounded in the psychotherapy literature, and evidence-based research is cited where relevant.? The book emphasizes that psychotherapy is an inexact science, therapists are human, and the process of therapy is a journey that is constantly changing rather than static. This approach reassures the reader, who feels supported in a "holding environment" while learning psychotherapy. ? The text is short and sweet, designed to teach essentials and include "just enough" to get clinicians started in supportive psychotherapy. ? Although the text is targeted at readers on the path toward becoming psychotherapists (social workers, family counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists), those who don't conduct psychotherapy will find it an essential tool for learning how to understand patients as well as for learning strategies and techniques for keeping a good therapeutic alliance (which inevitably translates into good medication compliance).Doing Supportive Psychotherapy is a brief, spirited book, which functions as both instructional text and paean to psychotherapy. In vigorous, personal prose, the author leaves readers with the message that they are not alone as they venture into the overwhelmingly complex, perplexing, and yet totally wonderful endeavor of the "talking cure".

Paperback. Etat : New. Recent surveys have found that the vast majority of the public believes that mental illness is real and treatable. And yet, fewer than half of people with diagnosable mental illnesses get treatment in any given year, and of those who do, only half adhere to it.What accounts for the disconnect? According to Daniel Morehead, M.D., unchecked critiques of psychiatry-that it is impossible to define mental illness, that the neurobiology of major mental illnesses is unknown, that patients are overdiagnosed and overmedicated-has led to a public perception that mental health treatment is profoundly flawed.In Science Over Stigma, Dr. Morehead argues that it is time for a full-throated defense of mental health treatment, and that it falls to everyone, from medical and mental health professionals to the general public, to advocate on its behalf.In accessible terms this book sets forth a definition of mental illness, candidly discussing what is known and what remains unknown, and then describes its prevalence, social and physical consequences, and a range of treatments. Each chapter includes advocacy tips that help readers translate the information they've learned into the means for constructive dialogue.By clearly laying out the science behind mental illness and its treatment and vividly illustrating how common it is-affecting patients, their friends and family, and mental health professionals themselves-this volume seeks to turn the recognition of psychiatric illness into practical behavior, destigmatizing both the illness itself and the search for treatment.

Hardback. Etat : New. Chester Pierce's list of accomplishments was second to none: graduate of Harvard University and Harvard Medical School, president of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, president of the American Orthopsychiatric Association, founding national chair of the Black Psychiatrists of America, and namesake of the American Psychiatric Association's Human Rights Award. Moreover, his musings about racism as an environmental pollutant, of the daily microtrauma that racially oppressed individuals endure, are foundational to modern mental health.But who was the man behind the numerous professional achievements and seminal theories? And what can knowledge of his life, when evaluated in conjunction with his profound impact on psychiatry, reveal about the Black experience?First published in 1998 and reprinted here with a new introduction, this collection of interactive discussions between Ezra Griffith and Chester Pierce takes readers on a journey through different stages of Pierce's life, including the following: . His upbringing in the Long Island community of Glen Cove. His undergraduate years at Harvard, including his athletic pursuits, membership in the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, and early married life with Patsy Blanchet. His training at the University of Cincinnati and experiences as a Navy psychiatrist. His time at the Oklahoma Veterans Administration Hospital What emerges is more than just a portrait of one particularly determined and talented man's path to achievement in the face of individual and institutional obstacles. We find distinct methods of managing the stress of racial discrimination. There is also a new way to approach narratives about Black lives. Anyone interested in gaining a greater understanding of how to evaluate the salience of race matters in people's lives and develop therapeutic approaches to coping with the stress will find this a particularly revelatory resource.
