Psychodynamic Approaches in Health and Social CareEdition 1

Psychodynamic Approaches in Health and Social Care sees experienced psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and educationalists analyse classic psychoanalytic papers and accessibly apply them to contemporary health and social care settings.

In each chapter, practitioners and educators analyse a classic paper to support a better understanding of and resolution to the complex, pervasive and multi-faceted challenges facing contemporary health and social care provision. The papers include works from some of psychoanalysis’ most important thinkers.

The novel approach in this book will make for an illuminating read for those working in health and social care settings with limited prior knowledge of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches and for practising analysts and therapists looking to apply their knowledge in contemporary health and social care.
