Books in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Assessment in the Twenty-first Century series

Certain persons do not benefit from psychotherapy or drop out prematurely. In Guided Enactments in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Sebastiano Santostefano provides research- supported concepts that can help therapists identify these persons. Santostefano also offers techniques that promote an interpersonal alliance and resolve emotions related to traumatic experiences that interfere with therapy.

From Sign to Symbol describes emerging approaches to the unconscious experience and the development of emotional meaning in intersubjective, implicit relationships. The book presents strategies that utilize symmetrical, impactful interventions in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and psychotherapy supervision.

Psychodynamics Commencing in Early Childhood adds to an understanding of the psychodynamics that are associated with and derived from early-life development. Marvin P. Osman draws on copious case material and research to document the effects of an unresolved separation-individuation process and earlier Oedipus complex on persons in later life.
