This fourth edition of Introduction to Psychotherapy builds on the
success of the previous three editions and remains an essential purchase
for trainee psychotherapists, psychiatrists and other professionals. It
has been revised and extended to capture some of the current themes,
controversies and issues relevant to psychotherapy as it is practised
today.
Bateman has added new chapters on attachment theory and personality
disorder and has developed further the research sections on selection
and outcome. His new chapter on further therapies covers a variety of
therapeutic movements and establishes links between these and classical
psychoanalytical therapies.
Introduction to Psychotherapy is a classic text that has been
successfully updated to provide a relevant and essential introduction
for anyone interested in psychotherapy.
