In this approachable book, Mark Kinet offers a unique methodology for integrating psychoanalytic work in the psychiatric setting.
Acknowledging the systemic rupture between psychoanalysis and psychiatric treatment, Kinet seeks to bridge the gap and offer a pathway for integrating the disciplines to provide integrative therapy for patients experiencing issues like personality problems, depression, anxiety and trauma. Integrating Freudian, Kleinian, Bionian, Winnicottian, Bowlbyan and Lacanian thought, Kinet provides an overview of psychoanalytic thinking and its benefits in a psychiatric setting. Kinet turns to philosophy, science, art and ethics to encourage a symbiotic relationship between the two disciplines.
Written in Kinet's trademark accessible and personable manner, Psychoanalytic Principles in Psychiatric Practice will inspire the training psychiatrist and psychotherapist, as well as the more experienced practitioner, to consider a more panoptic approach to working with patients.
Reviews and Endorsements
This is one of the best attempts to bring Freudian psychoanalysis to the 21st century. Kinet takes you on a personal journey through the psychoanalytic landscape, reviewing and integrating Freudian and Lacanian approaches with object relations theory, neuropsychoanalysis and attachment approaches. There is always something new to discover for the reader. Recommended for both adventurers and the more cautious within the psychoanalytic tradition.
Patrick Luyten, professor KU Leuven and University College London
Mark Kinet can plausibly defend the unique perspective of psychoanalysis because, unlike many of his colleagues, he embraces its theoretical and clinical diversity, and he remains abreast of developments in neighbouring fields: psychiatry, psychotherapy and neuroscience.
Mark Solms is a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst, professor University of Cape Town
Psychoanalysis does not exist' - it could have been a statement by Lacan. Then again, psychoanalysis does exist in many variants. It takes an experienced guide like Kinet to see the common core and the differences between the various interpretations. He consigns the idea of monolithic psychoanalysis to the dustbin, along with ill-founded criticisms. A picture of psychoanalytic currents suffices to conclude that there is still a great deal left for psychoanalytic therapy within psychiatric practice today.
Paul Verhaeghe is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst and emeritus professor Ghent University
This is a timely and urgent book. It gives a clear insight from different perspectives and aptly outlines their interrelationship. The book demonstrates great knowledge and is enthusiastically written. It shows psychoanalysis as a rich world of thought, a unity in diversity, without nitpicking. It frees it from its excessive self-involvement and self-chosen limitation to 'pure psychoanalysis'. And it can help psychiatry - which has itself lost its way in a self-created maze of mental disorders and treatment modules - regain substance and get in touch with life lived.
Antoine Mooij is a psychiatrist, philosopher, psychoanalyst and emeritus professor at Utrecht University
A Remedy by Truth is a very fine book. Mark Kinet, in his gracious and inimitable style, navigates the divergences and convergences of psychiatry and psychoanalysis. He weaves a rich tapestry of psychoanalysis' history, showing where it intersects with (and departs from) medicine, philosophy, and literature. Through its breadth and scope, it is a great introduction to psychoanalysis.
Arthur Eaton, PhD is a psychologist, philosopher, historian, journalist and author
This book offers an original view of the major issues in psychoanalytically oriented psychiatry and psychotherapy. It is based on 40 years of clinical practice and an integration of diverse psychoanalytic theories as author/editor of over 30 books. Add Kinet's free-thinking style, wit, and insightful metaphors, and you get this refreshing look at the psychodynamic approach's dilemmas.
