TEXT BOOK FOR POST GRAD. PSYCHOLOGY

This book is an excellent additional reader for post grad. psychology - particularly Therapeutic Styles. It has a strong leaning toward the psychodynamic schools of thinking, particularly: FREUD, SELF-PSYCHOLOGY,EGO & PSYCHOSOCIAL EGO DEVELOPMENT (Erikson) and has good critical views on Personality Disorders & depression. This was suggested as additional reading material - and I found it so beneficial - I bought the book!

An Absolute Must have for any Theory Enthusiast

I ordered this book after it was listed as a suggested text on the syllabus in a Psychodynamic Theory course I was taking. I must say that this was by far the best investment I made this semester. Berzoff makes psychodynamic theory user friendly and an enjoyable reading experience. This book is a great companion to any psychodynamic theory text book and offers a different lens in which to view theory through. An absolute must have for any psychodynamic theory enthusiast.

Great Book

A beautifully written book examining mental illness from a wide range of psychodynamic thoeries. It is a book I know I'll refer back to for years to come. The writers present the complexities of mental illness in a detailed and accessable manner. If you work in the mental health field as a psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor, or social worker this book is a must for your library.

A Truly Superlative Work

After a concise introduction, the authors describe in detail Drive Theory, Structural Theory, Ego Psychology, Psychosocial Ego Development, Object Relations Theory, The Theory of Self Psychology, and the Interpersonal School. This provides a solid foundation for the rest of the book, which moves to a chapter on Race and Culture, then Women. After this, a variety of psychopathologies are described in detail, with great attention to how ethnicity, culture, and gender play a role in the therapeutic process. The book contains a variety of clinical vignettes, is written intelligently, but without too much jargon, and is laid out concisely and clearly. I'm incredibly excited about this book, and know that I will be referring to it for a long time.
