Books by Nancy McWilliams used in unison make the best
psychodynamic resources I have yet encountered in more than 60
years in the field.--Robert C. Lane, PhD, Department of Psychology,
Nova Southeastern University
This beautifully written, uniquely accessible guide to the
psychoanalytic understanding of clinical cases will be of immense
value to students and practitioners of all theoretical persuasions.
I predict it will be among the most important and widely used books
in this field for years to come. --George E. Atwood, PhD, Professor
of Psychology, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey
Psychoanalytic Case Formulation is a worthy successor to
Psychoanalytic Diagnosis. Nancy McWilliams has a pellucid writing
style that brings complex concepts within the easy grasp of the
reader. She has produced a book that is intelligently
psychoanalytic without being restricted to any single vision of
psychoanalysis. The critical concepts are developed well and the
issues important to assessment--a concept that goes well beyond
diagnosis--are explicated clearly and helpfully. This is a rare
book that can serve as a text for beginning students and still has
much to offer to accomplished professionals. --George Stricker,
PhD, The Derner Institute, Adelphi University, Garden City, NY
