Psychoanalytic Principles in Psychiatric Practice: A Remedy by Truth

Dear Colleague,

After The Spirit of the Drive in Neuropsychoanalysis, which was published as the first in the new Routledge Neuropsychoanalysis Series under the direction of Mark Solms (see on routledge.com), I am pleased to introduce Psychoanalytic Principles in Psychiatric Practice: A Remedy by Truth, the second book in the Dutch-language series Psychoanalytisch Actueel (Current Psychoanalytics), published by Routledge in an elaborate English-language version.

Description: 'In this approachable book, Mark Kinet offers a unique methodology for integrating psychoanalytic work in the psychiatric setting. Acknowledging the systemic rupture between psychoanalysis and psychiatric treatment, Kinet seeks to bridge the gap and offer a pathway for incorporating the disciplines to provide integrative therapy for patients experiencing issues like personality problems, depression, anxiety and trauma. Integrating Freudian, Kleinian, Bionian, Winnicottian, Bowlbyan and Lacanian thought, Kinet provides an overview of psychoanalytic thinking and its benefits in a psychiatric setting. Kinet turns to philosophy, science, art and ethics to encourage a symbiotic relationship between the two disciplines. Written in Kinet's trademark accessible and personable manner, Psychoanalytic Principles in Psychiatric Practice will inspire the training psychiatrist and psychotherapist, as well as the more experienced practitioner, to consider a more panoptic approach to working with patients.'  

Quoting Patrick Luyten, Professor KULeuven (B) & University College London (UK): 'This is one of the best attempts to bring Freudian psychoanalysis to the 21st century. Kinet takes you on a personal journey through the psychoanalytic landscape, reviewing and integrating Freudian and Lacanian approaches with object relations theory, neuropsychoanalysis and attachment approaches. There is always something new for the reader to discover. Recommended for both adventurers and the more cautious within the psychoanalytic tradition.'
