Bøger af Paul Cammell

This accessible work describes psychotherapeutic techniques and a psychodynamic orientation for everyday clinical practice in psychiatry. It describes how these practices operate in outpatient, inpatient and emergency settings, and proceeds to illustrate this with a range of case studies that cover common mental health conditions. This approach brings case based teaching and discussion alive for the reader, and is more clinically relevant to everyday practice that most other psychotherapy books of its kind. The case studies will become a valuable resource for university courses and clinical training programs as well.

Reinterpreting the Borderline is a timely and comprehensive analysis of HeideggerΓÇÖs philosophy and its relevance to the clinical fields of psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. Cammell presents the key elements of HeideggerΓÇÖs philosophy and further explores affiliations with other key philosophers influenced by Heidegger. By applying these philosophical ideas to developmental models and clinical treatments of borderline personality disorder, Cammell develops a system of ideas he terms ΓÇ£hermeneutic ontology,ΓÇ¥ exploring the fundamentally relational, embodied, affective, temporal, and technical aspects of existence that become problematized in the experience of ΓÇ£the borderlineΓÇ¥--both for the suffering individual and the concerned clinician. Cammell posits that ΓÇ£borderline experienceΓÇ¥ extends beyond the suffering individual to the context of the psychotherapy itself, something in which the therapist and suffering individual must collaborate to overcome. Reinterpreting the Borderline provides a rich and complex study toward simultaneously overcoming the divide between theory and practice, philosophy and psychotherapy, and finally the borderline between suffering individuals and their concerned clinicians.
