ABOUT THE BOOK:-
Dr. Rubovits-Seitz presents a brilliant discussion of the interpretive process, using detailed clinical illustrations to describe its fundamentals, strategies, and fallibilities. He discusses the nature of clinical data, methods of observing, recording, and processing clinical data, the derivation of interpretations, construction, reconstruction, strategies of justification, and the verbal formulation and communication of interpretations. In a case presentation unparalleled in the literature, he illustrates these principles as they apply to twelve sessions selected at various points in the course of a completed treatment. I have never before read such a detailed, erudite, and clear account of the ways in which a therapist goes about understanding his patient, formulating his interpretations, and justifying those formulations during the course of a treatment. This book is not just a coup d`etat in the field of the scientific study of interpretations. More than that, it is of inestimable value to the working clinician who is interested in understanding how interpretations are formulated and how they are justified throughout the entire therapeutic process. It will be of great value both to researchers of the psychoanalytic process and to the working clinician. I recommend it highly.--Sydney E. Pulver, M.D., training and supervising analyst, Philadelphia Center for Psychoanalysis
