Psychoanalytic Therapy in the Hospital Setting

Though the impetus for psychoanalytic and group-analytic in-patient psychotherapy largely came from Britain, it is in Germany that this work has been supported, developed and researched to a greater extent than elsewhere. In "Psychoanlaytic Therapy in the Hospital Setting" Paul Janssen describes this development and the different models which have been tried and evaluated and explains his own integrative model in detail, illustrating it with clinical vignettes. He shows how in-patient groups are particularly effective in the treatment of severe personality disorders, borderline conditions and psychosomatic illness.
