Over the past two decades, the use of medication combined with psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis has shifted from an infrequent occurrence to common practice. Concurrently, attitudes toward medication have changed from viewing this intervention as disruptive or as a last resort to a welcome aid in the analytic process. However, this relatively rapid change has created difficulty in the integration of medication use into the analytic setting. "Psychotherapy and Medication" is an exceptionally valuable and timely volume that provides psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals with information on how to work with medication theoretically, clinically, and technically in the context of a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic treatment.
