Multifamily Psychoanalysis

The multifamily psychoanalytic approach presented by García Badaracco provides us with an important tool to diagnose and modify the psychic structures that maintain the limitations in the life of the patient. As the same author emphasizes in this book, its therapeutic approach is widely compatible with a combination of psychopharmacological treatment, social rehabilitation, and psychotherapy, which is the current therapeutic triad for the treatment of chronic schizophrenia. Its conception can opena new path for the treatment of most mental illnesses and, at the same time, shows an important and fundamental application of psychoanalytic theory and technique in the exciting developments of psycho-social therapies. This book should be of great interest to all professionals involved in mental health problems working with psychiatric patients as well as to psychoanalysts interested in the application of psychoanalytic theory and promising new psychotherapeutic modalities of treatment.
