Psychotherapy of Preoedipal Conditions: Schizophrenia and Severe Character Disorders

In Psychotherapy of Preoedipal Conditions, Hyman Spotnitz and his contributors demonstrate how to develop and use emotional interchange that fosters a climate of increasing emotional complexity and facilitates the psychological development of both parties in the therapeutic relationship. Written from a developmental perspective, this volume discusses the treatment of one of the most severe psychopathologies, schizophrenia, as well as the practice of analytic group psychotherapy with this and other disturbed populations.
