Part I, "Theoretical Considerations," begins with "Intersubjectivity: From Theory to Practice" by Roger Frie and Bruce Reis. They examine psychoanalytic tenets of intersubjectivity and the philosophical premises on which they are based. They clearly outline the contribution of European philosophies to the concept of intersubjectivity, and thoughtfully discuss philosophical influences on Jessica Benjamin's, Thomas Ogden's, and Robert Stolorow's work, which follows an outline of their work on intersubjectivity. This chapter would be improved and more accessible to clinicians if clinical examples were provided. The authors' critiques are balanced, although they offer a more involved discussion of the philosophical underpinnings of intersubjectivity then some clinicians might wish.

Despite this complaint, one of the strengths of the book is that [John C. Malone, PhD] makes a serious effort to dispel misconceptions about founding figures in psychology, such as Wundt, by detailing the sort of empirical work that made his psychology laboratories world-famous and by distinguishing him from earlier introspectionist psychologists who Wundt so seriously criticised. The author sets other founding figures, such as Freud, in the context in which they evolved their ideas, for example, documenting Freud's intellectual development from neurology through hypnosis (influenced by the work of Charcot) to his own ideas about psychoanalysis as an effective way to treat clinical cases of hysteria. Other well-known names, such as William James, are not so lucky, when aspects of their ...

Psychocardiology (often termed "behavioural cardiology" in North America) refers to the study of biopsychosocial factors in the emergence, course, and rehabilitation of cardiac diseases. The diree editors of this text, a psychosomatic researcher, psychoanalyst, and cardiologist, note at the outset that, although research in this area has been extensive, they believe the findings are seldom applied in clinical settings. Thus, their decidedly ambitious goal is to provide reviews that could serve as authoritative sources for the formulation of guidelines by scientific societies and institutions like the World Health Organization (WHO). This process began in 1998 with a "Psychocardiology Status Conference" in Germany during which 32 scientists from five countries met to review the existing ...

In Chapter Five, [JON MILLS] discusses the therapeutic alliance. He presents a theoretical review of concepts such as empathy, resistance, and neutrality and then provides his own views on these topics and explores how he "practices" as a therapist. Mills' open and honest discussion of these issues, including his admission of his own mistakes in the therapeutic process, make this section of the book particularly accessible and informative. It is this openness and honesty that is the second strength of Mills' book. It is not often that the reader is let into the clinician's mind. It is even rarer for the clinician to let the reader into his mind when he is unsure about issues. One does not have to be psychoanalytic to appreciate or draw from Mills' experience. In Chapter Six, Mills explo...

While considerable attention has been paid to country differences in gender-role attitudes associated with women's-especially married women's-employment at the individual and societal levels, the industrialization hypothesis used in the previous studies has, however, yielded inconsistent results (Haller and Hoellinger 1994; Alwin, Braun, and Scott 1992; Baxter and Kane 1995; Crompton and Harris 1997; Hsieh and Burgess 1994; Panayotova and Brayfield 1997; Scott and Duncombe 1992). Furthermore, in order to measure a single concept or attitude, unidimensional scale development and factor analysis have been used to construct gender-role attitudes by assigning interval scores to ordinal response categories. The impact of personal income on gender egalitarianism, however, is unclear, with s...

In discussing emotion in psychotherapy, it is important to recognise that not all emotions serve the same function both in and out of therapy and that therapists need to intervene differentially with different types of emotional processes. Therapists do not simply help clients regulate all emotions or become aware of or express all feelings. Rather, they distinguish clinically among different types of emotions to guide their interventions. Problems of overregulation are discriminated from problems of underregulation, and emotions that are a sign of distress are distinguished from emotions that are a sign of working through distress. Therapists intervene differentially with clients depending on their assessment of the in-session emotional state, helping them to accept and integrate certa...
