Overview
The author provides a simplified discussion of his empirically supported, integrative approach to case formulation. He begins by tracing the roots of this approach and its refinements and providing an overview of the process.Synopsis
Noted psychologist Jerome Singer lauds the author's efforts to integrate psychotherapy and psychoanalytic theory with research on cognitive and affective processes. Horowitz (psychiatry, U. of California, San Francisco), an expert on posttraumatic stress disorder, describes his development and practice of configurational analysis. Drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal therapy approaches, he introduces a systematic method of case formulation featuring configurations of person schemas to explain current states and cycles, intervention, and outcome evaluation. The guide is suitable for trainees. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
