Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: A Practitioner’s Guide is a clear and practical introduction to the practice of psychoanalytic therapy, written by one of the leading voices in contemporary psychoanalysis.
In this annotated edition, Nancy McWilliams provides accessible guidance on the theory and practice of psychoanalytic work, including how to form therapeutic alliances, understand unconscious processes, interpret defenses, and work with transference and countertransference. The annotations enrich the main text with clarifying commentary, clinical insights, and contextual notes, making it especially valuable for training and self-study.
Balancing theory with real-world clinical examples, McWilliams demonstrates how psychoanalytic principles can be applied flexibly to meet the needs of diverse patients.
Ideal for graduate students, new therapists, and experienced practitioners looking to refine their psychoanalytic skills, this book remains a widely respected guide to the art and craft of psychotherapy.
