How can we work effectively with older people? What contribution can be made by the field of psychodynamics? It is now recognised that older adults can benefit from psychodynamic therapy and that psychodynamic concepts can help to illuminate the thorny issues of aging and the complications of later life. Talking Over the Years begins by examining how ideas of old age are represented by the key psychodynamic theorists of the twentieth century including Freud, Jung, Klein and Winnicott. Contributors go on to draw on their own experiences in a range of settings to demonstrate the value of psychodynamic concepts in clinical practice, covering subjects such as: * brief and long-term work with individuals, couples and groups * the expressive therapies: art, music, dance and movement * ethical considerations * training, supervision and support * sexuality. Illustrated by a wealth of clinical material, Talking Over the Years increases psychodynamic awareness, helping practitioners become more sensitive to their patients' needs to the benefit of both the patient and the professional.

An unusual treatise and a masterful book.Doris K. Silverman.One of the world's leading psychoanalytic scholars offers a state-of-the-art guide to the most significant developments of the past quarter of a centurya period marked both by great creativity and great turmoil. Addressing an impressive range of topics, Gedo considers the philosophic and conceptual foundations of psychoanalysis; challenges to therapeutics and metapsychology; advances in infant research and our understanding of the neurobiological bases of the self; and theoretical and practical developments in ego psychology, self psychology, the Kleinian tradition, and French psychoanalysis. He concludes by highlighting the emergence of a new consensus on technique, and a new paradigm of self-organization.A brilliant, outspoken, and uncompromising exegesis of psychoanalysis in its every dimension. . . . Clearly written, lively, irreverent, and idiosyncratic, this is both a major contribution to the field, and a pleasure to read.Edgar A.Levenson
