About this title

Synopsis

In this book the author has gathered the various aspects of his theoretical and clinical approach to marriage difficulties into a coherent system, for the benefit of professional workers and students concerned with family and community psychiatry and case work.He preserves the essentials of the steps by which his concepts developed from one-person therapy into hypothesis for understanding interaction, with the couple as the unit of study.Based on the psychoanalytic thought of Klein and Fairbairn, Dr Dicks views both "happy" and disturbed marriages as resultants of motivations determined by residual primary object-relational needs leading to the divergent social and cultural norms and expectations each partner brings to the relationship, which in a time, of rapid social change and loss of compelling family mores produces conflicts in role playing in marital as in other group relations. The symptomatology of the resulting stress situations is described in terms of incongruities of social and personal norms with unrecognized demands on self and partner for meeting residual infantile needs.The wider implications of this approach are suggested, and the evolution of practice and training for it outlined as part of a major new skill in preventive psychiatry. Some research needs and themes are indicated.ContentsPrefaceI. IntroductionPART THE CONCEPTSII. The social settingIII. The individual settingIV. The development of the studyV.
