Reader reviews for Containing Rage, Terror and Despair: An Object Relations Approach to Psychotherapy (The Library of Object Relations)

From the publisher

Once again Dr. Jeffrey Seinfeld has written an illuminating and lucid book that applies the theories of the British School of Object Relations to treatment of patients with severe psychopathology. He is masterful in his ability to capture the turbulent inner world of patients and to illustrate the ways in which therapists provide containment in the treatment process. Anyone committed to the intensive psychotherapeutic process will find this book's penetrating case examples compelling and instructive.

From the rear cover

Containing Rage, Terror, and Despair presents Jeffrey Seinfeld's object relations approach to treating various common and debilitating mental disorders. Clinicians are often perplexed and discouraged at seeing their patients suffer even more intensely as they face the defenses, conflicts, and deficits that have impeded their growth and development. Often at the center of this increased suffering is an intense fear of giving up internalized bad objects. When there has been a lack of good enough supportive relationships throughout life, this letting go of bad objects threatens the patient with an unraveling of his or her core psychic structure.The process of internalizing the therapist as a good object is a long and arduous one, during which these patients test to the limit the therapist's capacity for survival and concern. Dr. Seinfeld describes the specific internalized object relations configurations of schizophrenic, schizoid, borderline, depressive, substance abusing, and traumatized patients. Using abundant clinical material, he offers individualized interventions that address each disorder, describing how the therapist can contain the patient's rage, despair, and terror that are evoked as the patient begins to face and release his or her dreaded inner demons.
