Reviews"In order to deepen our knowledge about psychoanalytic theory of treatment, it is of vital importance to have an increasing number of empirically-based studies on psychoanalytic process and outcome. Relevant scientific psychoanalytic research should also include the clinician and his clinical skills as a source of inspiration for renewing ideas, and for the integration of research results in clinical practice. As professor Wallerstein writes in his foreword, this book is 'a capstone volume bringing together the thinking and findings of a long, closely shared professional lifetime devoted to research and clinical work' and is 'a major path in the development of theory-building and a science of treatment.' The studies of Amalia X are probably the most intensive empirical studies of one patient ever conducted, and give a multidimensional picture of empirical ways to study psychoanalytic work and process." - Imre Szecsödy, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Karolinska Institute "An outstanding integration of over a quarter-century of trailblazing research that used a wide-range of methods to evaluate single case reports in the investigation of the impact of unconscious processes on conscious behavior and experience. In an extensive presentation of their specimen case, Amalia X., the Ulm Psychoanalytic Process Research Study Group demonstrates how systematic analysis of detailed observations of a single case in psychoanalysis can provide invaluable understanding of the subtleties of psychological processes and of the dynamics of the treatment process. This volume will have major impact on research as well as on clinical theory and practice because it provides a variety of models for integrating the complexities of psychoanalytic observations so they can enrich and extend mainstream nomothetic psychotherapy research." - Sidney J. Blatt, Ph.D., author, Polarities of Experience: Relatedness and Self-definition in Personality Development, Psychopathology and the Therapeutic Process (APA, 2008) "This book aims to bridge the gap between psychoanalytic practice and systematic research. It easily achieves this but it does far more. The careful scrutiny of the psychoanalytic process through concurrent use of multiple methodologies has created a comprehensive reference text that clinicians can use to improve their understanding of the mechanisms of change, to learn about what is likely to make treatments more effective and to understand how relatively simple experimental strategies can clarify without oversimplifying even the most nuanced of clinical situations. This is a landmark volume, an integrative summary of the substantive achievements of psychoanalytic process research of the past decades." - Peter Fonagy, Ph.D., FBA, Freud Memorial Professor, University College, London, "In order to deepen our knowledge about psychoanalytic theory of treatment, it is of vital importance to have an increasing number of empirically-based studies on psychoanalytic process and outcome.

Their work illuminates the fundamental relation between enquiry and therapy in clinical psychoanalysis." - Charles Hanly, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, University of Toronto, "In order to deepen our knowledge about psychoanalytic theory of treatment, it is of vital importance to have an increasing number of empirically-based studies on psychoanalytic process and outcome.

Table Of ContentWallerstein, Foreword. Psychoanalytical Therapy Process Research. Problems of Metascience and Methodology in Clinical Psychoanalytic Research. The Significance of the Case History in Clinical Psychoanalytic Research. Amalia X: The German Psychoanalytic Specimen Case. Guided Clinical Judgments. Linguistic Studies. A Summary and Implications of Research for Clinical Practice.

SynopsisRecognition of the need for empirical research and interest in its findings are growing in psychoanalysis. Many psychoanalysts now acknowledge that research is imperative to try to deal with the factors propelling the diminution in status and prestige of the discipline, as well as the number of patients in intensive psychoanalytic treatment. In addition, there is increased pressure to expose and acquaint candidates with analytic research in the course of their education. From Psychoanalytic Narrative to Empirical Single Case Research revivifies the experimental potential of psychoanalysis by focusing a number of structured research methods on a single case study. Drs. K chele, Schachter, and Thom , in tandem with the Ulm Psychoanalytic Process Research Study Group, bring their formidable tools and knowledge to bear on Amalia X, a former patient of Dr. Thom 's, whose case history is well-documented, preserved and available for formal empirical study. After providing an intensive review of the problematic aspects of clinical psychoanalytic research and an exegesis on the use of the case study itself, the specific case history of Amalia X, which dominates and centers the remainder of the book, is thoroughly examined. The following two chapters - utilizing clinical and linguistic models, respectively - deconstruct Amalia's psychopathology along a variety of methodological axes in an effort not only to uncover the roots of her presenting symptoms, but also to reify and validate the strange bedfellows of psychoanalysis and empiricism in general. The book would be incomplete, however, without its final chapter, which provides suggestions and insights into the clinical applications and implications of their combined research., Recognition of the need for empirical research and interest in its findings are growing in psychoanalysis.
