How do you understand a new patient? What treatment strategy should you choose, given their unique characteristics? Although an experienced psychotherapist relies on generally accepted diagnostic principles, their own practice is more determined by subjective and intuitive processes. Nancy McWilliams, author of the classic work "Psychoanalytic Diagnosis," demonstrates that only an understanding of a patient's unique personal characteristics informs informed decisions about their therapeutic strategy and tactics. Using examples from psychotherapy cases, clinical studies, and various theoretical concepts, this book explains in detail how an assessment of a patient's temperament, developmental characteristics, defense mechanisms, affects, identifications, relationship patterns, and pathogenic beliefs contributes to understanding a patient. This book is an indispensable tool for practicing psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists, regardless of their theoretical orientation, as well as for students, teachers, and anyone interested in depth psychology.
