        OPD-3 - Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis

        The Manual for Diagnostics and Therapy Planning

        by Arbeitskreis OPD (Hrsg.)

        The Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostic (OPD) is a multiaxial psychodynamic diagnostic system that has become a widely accepted standard in psychodynamic diagnosis for clinical and research use. Numerous empirical studies demonstrate the validity of OPD findings. The clear operationalization, supplemented by case examples and working materials, makes essential components of psychodynamic models - illness experience, relational patterns, intrapsychic conflicts, availability about structural functions - reliably ascertainable.

        Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis OPD-2

        Manual of Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

        by OPD-KJ Task Force

        The Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) is a form of multiaxial diagnostic and classification system based on psychodynamic principles, analogous to those based on other principles such as DSM and ICD. It is based on five axes: I = experience of illness and prerequisites for treatment, II = interpersonal relations, III = conflict, IV = structure, and V = mental and psychosomatic disorders (in line with Chapter V (F) of the ICD-10). After an initial interview lasting 1–2 hours, the clinician (or researcher) can evaluate the patient’s psychodynamics according to these axes and enter them in the checklists and evaluation forms provided. The new version, OPD-2, has been developed from a purely diagnostic system to include a set of tools and procedures for treatment planning and for measuring change, as well as for determining the appropriate main focuses of treatment and developing appropriate treatment strategies.   Target Group: For psychodynamic psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, psychoanalysts, specialists in psychosomatic medicine, and psychiatrists.

        Chronic Depression

        by Leuzinger-Bohleber, Marianne; Fischmann, Tamara; Beutel, Manfred E.

        Chronically depressed patients are often considered difficult to treat because the illness is often closely related to severe traumatic experiences. This manual focuses on traumatized, chronically depressed patients: it outlines both the disorder as well as its diagnostic approach and explains the basic assumptions of the psychoanalytic understanding of depression.  It explains the basic treatment steps in long-term psychoanalytic treatment of chronically depressed, early traumatized patients, and addresses specific challenges such as suicidality, aggression, and guilt. Basic therapeutic approaches and treatment principles are illustrated through specific case examples. The effectiveness of this manual has been demonstrated in a study of long-term therapies for chronic depression (the so-called LAC Depression Study). For:• psychoanalysts• psychotherapists working on the basis of depthpsychology• mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy• candidates for training in psychotherapy

        The metamorphosis of autism

        'A history of child development in Britain

        by Series edited by Professor Keir Waddington, Bonnie Evans

        What is autism and where has it come from? Increased diagnostic rates, the rise of the 'neurodiversity' movement, and growing autism journalism, have recently fuelled autism's fame and controversy. The metamorphosis of autism is the first book to explain our current fascination with autism by linking it to a longer history of childhood development. Drawing from a staggering array of primary sources, Bonnie Evans traces autism back to its origins in the early twentieth century and explains why the idea of autism has always been controversial and why it experienced a 'metamorphosis' in the 1960s and 1970s. Evans takes the reader on a journey of discovery from the ill-managed wards of 'mental deficiency' hospitals, to high-powered debates in the houses of parliament, and beyond. The book will appeal to a wide market of scholars and others interested in autism, neurodiversity and how this relates to wider theories of children's psychological development.

        Diagnosis of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

        by Jan Gysi

        People with complex post-traumatic stress disorder often find themselves in a pattern of loss of control, helplessness, and dependency. A therapy that focuses on individual symptoms such as depression or a “simple” post-traumatic stress disorder often does not do them justice. Even more so when the wrong diagnosis is made due to false assumptions or a lack of information. What all must be ensured for the diagnosis to be made: is there a threat of intrafamilial or external violence? Is existential stability guaranteed during therapy? Are there investigations of legal proceedings in the background? With brilliantly structured overviews, this book helps even experienced diagnosticians to keep track of the variety of diagnostic options to be considered or ruled out and not to overlook anything.Axis I: Personality disordersAxis II: Specific stress-related disordersAxis III: Structural dissociation of personality: dissociativeand partial dissociative identity disorderAxis IV: Dissociative symptomsAxis V: Comorbid disorders For:• psychiatrists• psychologists• psychotherapists specializing in PTSD
