Psychoanalytic Case

Formulation
 By
Nancy McWilliams
Guilford Publications
 This invaluable book shows that while seasoned practitioners rely
upon established diagnostic categories for record-keeping, their
actual clinical concepts and practices reflect more inferential,
subjective, and intuitive processes. From the author of the landmark
text Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, the volume takes clinicians step-by-
step through developing a dynamic case formulation and using this
information to guide and inform treatment decisions. Synthesizing
extensive clinical literature, diverse psychoanalytic viewpoints, and
empirical research in psychology and psychiatry, McWilliams
brings assessment to life and illuminates the entire
psychotherapeutic process.
