Las investigaciones en el campo de las neurociencias ampliaron el conocimiento de la interacción genes-ambiente y función cerebral. Como resultado, la psiquiatría psicodinámica ha tomado fuerza como una psiquiatría integradora que sintetiza lo psicosocial y lo biológico. Este libro presenta los principios teóricos básicos de la psiquiatría dinámica y sus propuestas de tratamiento, mediante la terapia individual, grupal y familiar, y la farmacoterapia. Incluye los criterios diagnósticos de los trastornos mentales según el DSM-IV, un nuevo capítulo sobre los trastornos disociativos y las implicaciones en el desarrollo de la práctica clínica.
This book is a tough read, starting with a dense synopsis of psychodynamic thought, then barrelling through most major psychiatric diagnoses with attention to dynamic understanding of them. It is extensively researched, with most references being recent research, but sometimes the flood of data interfered with understanding that particular studied disease. That said, the introductory chapters on theory are a wealth of information for new students, and the chapters on Cluster B personalities gave dozens of useful techniques.
Spectacularly written and very easy to understand. I kind of had to read this book to prepare for an exam, so I won't say I enjoyed the experience of reading and learning it, but it definitely made the experience bareable and the style in which it's written is amiable for psychology students. I love the fact that there are case examples and that the medical jargon is easy to understand. I really recommend this.
When people show a real interest in the subject of psychiatry, this is the book I recommend. It was the main book we all used in training in the early 2000s. Its analysis of cluster B personality disorders is brilliant and clear. If you want to understand the intellectual landscape your psychiatrist or psychologist comes from, this is the comprehensive book for that. If you want to understand borderline, narcissistic and antisocial personality dynamics, this is the book. Glenn Gabbard is a caring psychiatrist that has guided the profession for years. In the era of mental disorder, it’s good to have a reference book like this. This is the framework of mainstream psychiatry…..everyone is still unique and deserves to be assessed appropriately. Reading this book doesn’t justify anyone throwing around labels. It’s just a great summary of the general framework.
First year of uni, I had to buy this book and read it. Thank god I did it, I use it again well written, interesting, easy to read and understand even if its kinda a clinical/scientific manuel
Nonostante sia un testo di psichiatria psicodinamica, e quindi influenzato da un'inevitabile matrice psicoanalitica, che porta con se tutti i difetti e le critiche di un modello che per molti psichiatri, psicologi e neuroscienziati risulta anacronistico e obsoleto, il testo di Gabbard possiede numerosi lati positivi che lo rendono, a conti fatti, caldamente consigliato anche per i clinici "non psicoanalitici" e per la preparazione dell'esame di stato.
La chiarezza dell'autore, l'integrazione con le teorie cognitive, neuroscientifiche e psico-farmacologiche, il confronto con la psicopatologia descrittiva e un buon numero di esempi clinici e di consigli pratici lo rendono davvero utile e prezioso per ogni tipo di psicologo clinico, a prescindere dall'orientamento.
Clearly, I had to read the book for a university exam, but the reading was, in its own way, enjoyable—not complex and enriching. The combination of the descriptive approach of the DSM and the psychodynamic explanation holds up well and is essential for anyone who wants to go beyond mere external observation of symptoms. The inclusion of illustrative clinical cases is excellent. The section on psychodynamic theories is a bit brief, but it is understandable given the volume of the text.
Disamina difficile e profonda che connette sapere psicoanalitico e DSM5. Spesso non sappiamo davvero nulla di noi stessi, dei nostri comportamenti e motivazioni. Sarebbe più corretto dire "Non lo conosco come il palmo della mia mano".
A great introductory text to psychodynamic thought. The author .
The book does feel opinionated at times. The author also spends a lot of time citing biological evidence to help support the validity of psychodynamic theory, but I wonder if he's "preaching to the choir" given the likely readers who seek out this book.
Very helpful, filled with the stuff "they don't teach you in school." I appreciated the organization of this volume by DSM axes as well as general treatment strategy.
