• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Over the past few decades, psychoanalysis and dynamic psychiatry have been steadily stepping back from a key role in the understanding and treatment of depressive disorders. This book investigates the historical and philosophical basis for such retreat and offer readers a comprehensive, dynamically-oriented model of symptom formation in depression.
