From the reviews:
"Palombo, Bendicsen and Koch's Guide to Psychoanalytic
Developmental Theories offers a much-needed, comprehensive
examination of the contributions of eighteen important
psychoanalytic developmental theorists. Beginning with Freud's
foundational drive theory, the authors proceed to examine a range
of psychoanalytic theories, including ego psychological, object
relational, life cycle, interpersonal, self, and attachment.
Chapters are well organized and they include not only the authors'
concise summaries of each theorist's unique contribution, but in
most instances, a clinical illustration derived from the theorist's
own published work. For interested readers, primary references
highlighting the theorist's original contributions, as well as a
general bibliography are included at the conclusion of each
chapter. This work, with its lucid descriptions of important
developmental themes and careful attention to the unique features
of each developmental theory, will prove a valuable resource not
only for graduate students in the mental health professions, but
also for postgraduate professionals."-Jerrold R.
Brandell, Ph.D. Distinguished Professor, Wayne State
University, Detroit, MI
"The Guide is a respectful and loving homage to a century
of great minds struggling to understand the complex problem of
psychological development. It is a treasure trove of knowledge,
which enlivens the human and theoretical history of psychoanalysis,
making it accessible to a new generation of clinicians. Designed
for the serious student, the Guide provides the
commonalities and complexities of a spectrum of developmental
theories. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail of the authors
serve as a wonderful example to students that not everything can be
grasped in sound bites and that careful and detailed scholarship
can bring great rewards. The inclusion of attachment theory and
their modern expressions in the work of Schore and Fonagy
distinguish this book from others, adding the brain to the mind,
and bringing us up to the present day." -Louis
Cozolino, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Pepperdine
University, CA
"TheGuide to Psychoanalytic Developmental Theoriesis an
invaluable resource for students, seasoned clinicians, and teachers
of psychoanalytic ideas. The authors have assembled clear and
succinct summaries of the prevailing developmental theories in
psychoanalysis today. The inclusion of brief biographies of the
theoreticians allows readers to understand the genesis of their
ideas and to have an overview of some of the sociology of
psychoanalytic theory. As a basic text, mental health practitioners
can use this excellent work to compare and contrast different
theoretical perspectives as well as to complement their
psychoanalytic education. This work is an imperative addition to
personal and reference libraries. Congratulations to the authors!"
-David M. Terman, M.D. Director, Chicago Institute
for Psychoanalysis
"Palombo, Bendicsen, and Koch are to be congratulated for their
systematic, straightforward, and lucid presentation of the major
concepts of key psychoanalytic developmental theories from Freud's
time to the present. Scholarly but accessible to readers who are
not familiar with its content, this volume is enhanced by rich
biographical profiles of each theorist, illustrative case examples,
and the inclusion of a framework and questions that can be used to
analyze and compare the different paradigms. This book is a
valuable resource for teaching and should appeal to all those who
are interested in learning about this vast body of knowledge."
-Eda G.Goldstein, DSW, LCSW. Professor Emerita and
Director of Post Masters Program in Advanced Clinical Practice New
York University Silver School of Social Work
"A major success is achieved by these authors, who conceptualize
the array of complex notions/frameworks associated with major
psychoanalytic developmental theories in a clear, concise, and
comprehensive manner. Following a historical time line beginning
with Sigmund Freud, the book chronicles the evolutionary processes
related to the development of modern psychoanalytic thought. This
book is important resource for new and sophisticated students of
this invaluable tradition." -Jack C. Wall, Dean
and Professor, Loyola University Chicago, School of Social Work
