The Presenting Past: The Core Of Psychodynamic Counselling And Therapy

Product Information

Not all procedures will be relevant to the presenting complaint (in this example, Mrs Smith’s appendicectomy in 1986), but it is important to report any complications, especially if the patient is being considered for a surgical pathway: “She was diagnosed with left hip osteoarthritis in 2016, largely asymptomatic since a left hip replacement in 2018; a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in 2019, managed by diet; nothing else of significance.” Drug history If the patient is presenting as a follow-up visit to outpatients and does not have a presenting complaint, you can include other relevant details (e.g. reason for attendance or referral): “ Mrs Smith is a 58-year-old woman presenting to clinic for follow-up of ongoing loose stool and bloating without obvious cause.” History of presenting complaint

Avoid listing all negative findings, but any positive findings should be reported. These include red flag symptoms, specialty-specific pathologies, relevant systemic enquiry findings and other symptoms which may influence management. This new edition of The Presenting Past is a wonderfully readable overview of the developmental principles underlying psychodynamic counselling. Theories of Freud, Klein, Bowlby, Winnicott, Kohut and others are organized into three broad developmental themes: trust and attachment; authority and autonomy; and cooperation and competition. It is illuminated with rich clinical examples which bring alive how theory is helpful to understanding clients. Jacobs' lucid, lively style makes the connection between theory and practice clear and accessible. This outstanding book will appeal to established clinicians as well as students training in counselling and psychotherapy."
