Living on the Border: The Psychotic Processes and the Individual, the Couple and the Group - Softcover
This book centres on the problem of psychosis, understood from a psychoanalytic perspective, as it manifests itself in different contexts and different levels of organisation: from the individual psychoanalytic session, through work with couples, groups and institutions and wider levels of social organisation. Beginning with a discussion of the psychoanalytic approach to psychosis centring on the work of Freud, Klein and the Post-Kleinians, it goes on to cover individual, couple and group therapy with psychotic patients. It draws on clinical material and theoretical discussion to explore the links between psychotic processes on different levels.This work is aimed at different professionals working within the psycho dynamic frame of reference: individual psychotherapists, couple and family and group psychotherapists; organisational consultants and trainees in different therapies. As well as this it will be a useful resource to nurses, doctors and social workers who work with very disturbed patients and wish to learn about psychotic processes.

Review:
A comprehensive exploration of some of the most puzzling and intransigent mental states that clinicians encounter ; 'Ground breaking' is often an over-used and clichéd term, ...but in the case of this book, it constitutes a fair description, one most unusual in the professional literature hitherto. --Margot Waddell, author of Inside Lives: Psychoanalysis and the Growth of the Personality
A wide ranging collection showing the immense value of a psychoanalytic approach to severe psychological disorder- Never could a need for a book like this be more urgent than at our current juncture. --John Steiner, author of Psychic Retreats: Pathological Organisations in Psychotic, Neurotic and Borderline Patients and Seeing and Being Seen: Emerging from a Psychic Retreat
