Erik Stänicke – författare

Det här är en grundläggande lärobok om psykiatri och psykiskt lidande som speglar den hela det brokiga och motsättningsfyllda psykiatrifältet. På ett unikt sätt förmedlar den genomgående historiska, sociala och kunskapsteoretiska perspektiv på ämnet.

Boken ger en överblick över utvecklingen av centrala behandlingstraditioner, såväl den psykoanalytiska/psykodynamiska som den medicinskt–naturvetenskapliga och den kognitiva, och följer deras utlöpare och förgreningar fram till dagens revolutionerande hjärnforskning och den nya s.k. mentaliseringsbaserade terapiformen.

Psykiatri överbryggar tidigare oförenliga ståndpunkter genom att konsekvent tillämpa både ett utifrån- och ett inifrånperspektiv på de psykiatriska ohälsotillstånd som tas upp. Den bidrar därmed till att återställa balansen mellan den naturvetenskapliga och den humanistiska traditionen. Boken vänder sig till behandlare och vårdpersonal, som alltid befinner sig i spänningsfältet mellan dessa två perspektiv. Boken vänder sig också till studerande inom olika vårdutbildningar samt till en intresserad allmänhet.

Sagt om boken"Psykiatri är en grundläggande lärobok i ämnet. Den är väl genomarbetad och presenterar ämnet på ett modernt och nyanserat sätt. Både det naturvetenskapliga och det humanistiska synsättet får plats. Man presenterar olika behandlingsmetoder och aktuell kunskap om hjärnan. Mentalisering och betydelsen av anknytning tas upp. Olika psykiska ohälsotillstånd, missbruk och livets slutskede är andra områden som behandlas. Ett kapitel om lagar och regler ingår och en omfattande litteraturlista finns. Boken vänder sig till studerande och redan yrkesverksamma, men även till en intresserad allmänhet."

Psychoanalytic Studies of Change presents recent studies of the process and outcome of psychoanalytic therapy with an integrative perspective.A recurrent challenge in the discussion of therapeutic outcome is the gap between empirical, quantitative studies, reporting results on a group level, and the clinician’s interest in complex mechanisms of change presupposing microanalysis of dynamic interaction processes. This book bridges that gap via dynamic contributions from a variety of authors. Quantitative and qualitative studies are connected, epistemological and conceptual research is emphasized as specific domains, and in-depth clinical case studies are highlighted. The book comprises several new contributions to epistemology and conceptual research, as well as chapters discussing the challenge of combining qualitative and quantitative methods in studying process and outcome.Psychoanalytic Studies of Change will not only meet a need specifically within psychoanalysis for up-to-date research but also provide an overview of the latest empirical research on psychoanalysis for a broader clinical and academic group of readers. It will appeal to psychoanalysts in practice and in training.

Narcissism: Psychoanalytic Clinicians and Researchers in Dialogue presents current research and practice on working psychoanalytically with narcissism.The contributors discuss a broad spectrum of approaches for understanding narcissism, from cultural-theoretical and social perspectives to clinical psychoanalytic observations and conceptual clarifications of terms, and new interdisciplinary and extra-clinical psychoanalytic research. Part I deals with the social danger posed by the close, unconscious link between pathological narcissism and extreme destructiveness. Part II is devoted to insights gained from years of psychoanalysis and long-term psychoanalytic treatment of patients with narcissistic pathology. Part III discusses how psychoanalysis tries to meet contemporary cultural challenges, and this book concludes with three chapters devoted to the important issue of narcissism in adolescence and young adulthood.This book will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training.

This book brings together various reflections on his key contributions from the 1960s to the present day.The volume features three chapters by Jan Smedslund, offering his updated views on psychological science and psychotherapy. It also features contributions from several scholars that critically evaluates his legacy. His seminal ideas are discussed, revised and expanded upon and the questions raised are put in relevant historical and interdisciplinary context.Respect for Thought is a valuable resource for psychological researchers, historians of psychology, cultural psychologists, critical psychologists, theoretical psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychotherapists,social scientists, philosophers of psychology, and philosophers of science.
