This book reflects the discontent of many mental health professionals with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (DSM-IV), which has come to provide the foundation for managed care's fragmented, symptomatic treatment approaches. Some of the criticisms that the contributors note are (a) the excessive reliance of the DSM on the medical model; (b) an excessive focus on reliability at the expense of validity and a predominance of the categorical, rather than the dimensional, approach to diagnosis; (c) arbitrary cut-off points for disorders; (d) a significant problem with comorbidity; and (e) a steady proliferation of labels for the personality disorders. The contributors explore this and other criticisms of the DSM system and propose new ways of looking at diagnosis and treatment. This thought-provoking volume proposes the ultimate goal of finding a diagnostic process that can be meaningfully related to what clinicians do in their actual work with patients.

The second edition of A Handbook for the Study of Mental Health provides a comprehensive review of the sociology of mental health. Chapters by leading scholars and researchers present an overview of historical, social and institutional frameworks. Part I examines social factors that shape psychiatric diagnosis and the measurement of mental health and illness, theories that explain the definition and treatment of mental disorders and cultural variability. Part II investigates effects of social context, considering class, gender, race and age, and the critical role played by stress, marriage, work and social support. Part III focuses on the organization, delivery and evaluation of mental health services, including the criminalization of mental illness, the challenges posed by HIV, and the importance of stigma. This is a key research reference source that will be useful to both undergraduates and graduate students studying mental health and illness from any number of disciplines.

The self psychology of Heinz Kohut has been an important force in contemporary psychoanalytic thought and its ramifications for therapy have been extensively explored. Now, Marshall Silverstein offers the first analysis of the application of self psychology to projective diagnostic assessment. Differentiating the self psychological approach from an ego psychological interpretation of classical drive theory, he clearly outlines the principal contributions of Kohut, including the concepts of selfobject functions, empathy, transmuting internalization, and compensatory structure. Providing numerous clinical examples, he shows how the major selfobject functions of mirroring, idealization, and twinship can be identified on projective tests. Silverstein then demonstrates how conventional assessment approaches to grandiosity, self-esteem, and idealization can be reconceptualized within the framework of self psychology, and he also contrasts ego psychological interpretations with self psychological interpretations. This book makes a strong case for the importance of the clinical identification of self states. It will help practitioners understand their patients' varied attempts to repair an injury to the self to restore self-esteem (compensatory structure) and the clinical consequences of self-disorders, including disintegration products such as narcissistic rage and affect states characterized by empty depression, chronic boredom, and lack of zest.

Annotation For the past half century, the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has been the primary basis for classifying mental disorders in the US. Between the 1952 first edition and the most recent in 1994, categories have expanded and contracted, but have not changed themselves. Scholars of psychology at US universities explore how they might be redrawn to reflect current thought. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
