An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis assesses the state of psychoanalysis in the 21st century. Joel Paris examines areas where analysis needs to develop a stronger scientific and clinical base, and to integrate its ideas with modern clinical psychology and psychiatry.
"Written by one of the great integrative thinkers in contemporary psychiatry, Joel Paris's Evidence Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis provides a roadmap for reinvigorating psychoanalytic theory and therapy. This compelling and thought-provoking book blends clinical wisdom with incisive analysis of empirical findings to provide a unique perspective on the challenges that lie ahead as we develop a rigorous evidence-based approach to psychoanalysis. Of interest to early career therapists and seasoned professionals alike, this book should be on every clinician's shelf."-Robert F.
