Empirical Perspectives on Object Relations Theory

"As was true of the earlier volumes in the Empirical Studies of Psychoanalytic Theories series, all of the contributors to the present volume have, through their research efforts, worked to keep psychoanalytic theory alive and consistent with modern scientific canon. Our goal is not to defend psychoanalytic constructs nor to focus only on those data that support psychodynamic hypotheses. Rather, we hope to test, to refine, and to extend psychoanalytic theory, allowing the data to lead us wherever they must. In this way, the Empirical Studies series can help to reinvigorate psychoanalytic theory and practice and can contribute to the ongoing effort to provide psychoanalysis with a rigorous empirical foundation"--Introduction.

Object Relations Individual Therapy
Author: Jill Savege Scharff
language: en
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
Release Date: 1998
Emphasizing the transformational possibilities that grow out of their relational model of therapy, David E. and Jill Savege Scharff invite us into the territory of interactive journeys with individual patients in this latest entry in their Library of Object Relations. A synergistic mix of clarity and passion informs their review of principles and procedures to land us on the continent of self and object relations that each dyad will explore anew. Each journey touches the therapist in a different way, drawing on and challenging different capacities. Co-directors of the International Institute for Object Relations Therapy, the Scharffs authoritatively introduce the origins (Fairbairn, Klein, Winnicott, Bion), key tenets, and recent advances in the evolution of analytic theory into relational form. Their integral elucidation of clinical practice (structure, technique, case examples) affirms and actualizes their vision of transference and countertransference as collateral, reciprocal, subjective experiences. A contemporary classic.
Theoretical Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy
The third edition of Theoretical Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy provides a comprehensive overview of a variety of major counseling theories and focuses on the integration of different theoretical models. With new information on multiculturalism, diversity, and cutting-edge theories such as psychosynthesis, the book offers a detailed description of the philosophical basis for each theory as well as historical context and biographical information on each theory’s founder. Chapters include new case excerpts and clinical examples, and each chapter follows a consistent structure in its exploration of each theory’s features, including its approach to and ideas on personality development, human nature, the role of environment, the change process in therapy, and contributions and limitations to the mental health field. Theory-specific information on diagnosis, psychopharmacology, spirituality, and gender issues is also discussed, and the book is accompanied by a companion website where professors and students will find exercises and course material that will further deepen their understanding of counseling theory and allow them to easily bridge classroom study to future practice. Available for free download for each chapter: PowerPoint slides and a testbank of 21 multiple-choice questions
