The Metaphysical Poets by Gerald Hammond

The Metaphysical Poets by Gerald Hammond

Modern Psychoanalys is is a definitive exploration of the expanding horizons of this still controversial approach to and treatment of human behavior. In the first paperback release of a work sponsored by the American Academy of Psychoanalysis, thirty-five authorities explore new approaches to psychoanalytic theory and therapy, and examine the growing interaction between this field and the other social and behavioral sciences.

Modern Psychoanalysis demonstrates how some of the leading figures are bringing their discipline into the mainstream of biological and social through --making use of systems theory, information processing, the constructs of adaptation and learning, and other new tools and findings. The book is unusually free of the jargon that has separated psychoanalysis in the past from the rest of behavioral and social science.

Some of the authors and their subjects are: Roy Grinker, Conceptual Progress in Analysis; Jin-gen Ruesch, Psychoanalysis between Two Cultures; Edward Tauber, Dreaming and Modern Dream Theory; Jules Masserman, The Biody-namic Roots of Psychoanalysis; Lewis H. Wolberg, Short-term Psychotherapy; Stuart M. Finch and Albert Cain, Psychoanalysis of Children; Morris Parloff, Analytic Group Psychotherapy; Salvador Minuchin, The Low Socioeconomic Population; Leonard Duhl and Robert Leopold, Psychoanalysis and Social Agencies; Leo'n Edel, Psychoanalysis and the Creative Arts; Arnold A. Rogow, Psychiatry, History and Political Science; and John R. Seeley, Psychiatry: Revolution, Reform and Reaction.

The volume is prepared with the rigor and comprehensiveness that should make the book a standard handbook for psychiatrists, psychologists, and behavioral scientists. And it is written with a sense of curious readers who may simply be interested in the basic stances of this controversial field of theory and practice. It has earned sufficient plaudits to be called a classic in the field. Judd Manner's new introduction gives added weight to such claims.
