Klappentext

Fully updated and restructured with 70% new material, PDM-3 presents important advances in multiaxial mental health diagnosis from a psychodynamic perspective, in dialogue with neuroscientific and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. Used worldwide, this authoritative manual offers an empirically based, clinically useful alternative or supplement to DSM and ICD descriptive and symptom-oriented diagnoses. PDM-3 guides the practitioner to develop a multilayered dimensional understanding of each patient, leading to a rich case formulation and flexible treatment plan. Leading international experts systematically address personality functioning, mental capacities, and symptomatic impairment in infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, including jargon-free descriptions and clinical examples. The companion website provides additional, in depth case illustrations and five downloadable and reproducible PDM-derived rating scales.

New to This Edition

• Restructured to follow development chronologically.
• Conceptual refinements, updated assessment tools, and expanded case material.
• Chapters on the transition from infancy to childhood and from adolescence to adulthood.
• Chapters on psychological experiences throughout the lifespan that are not captured by a diagnosis, but may require clinical attention.
  Supporting associations include the International Psychoanalytical Association, Division 39 of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy, the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work, and other organizations.

PDM-2 won the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize (Clinical Category)
