(H/B) ESSENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPIES
This book presents the core theoretical and applied aspects of essential psychotherapies in contemporary clinical practice. For us, "essential" approaches do not include those that appear to be generating momentary enthusiasm but are likely to soon vanish from the therapeutic scene.

(H/B) IMAGINATION AND ITS PATHOLOGIES
From John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding to the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, madness has been viewed as a faulty mix of ideas by a deranged and violent imagination. This book shows that the relation of the imagination to pathological phenomena is as diverse and complex as the human condition itself. The imagination has the power not only to react to the world but to recreate it. And that power is double-edged: it is as destructive as it is creative. Recent advances in genet...
