You think you know these texts . . . until you read Alter, who reignites their beauty in bracing and unexpected ways., [A] goldmine for anyone struggling to understand this most perplexing and important of fields. . . . Dissociative disorders are frequently described as 'hidden disorders,' in part because even in plain sight their signs and symptoms are subtle and nuanced. That elusiveness is perhaps the most daunting challenge to developing clinicians . . . . I know of no other work on dissociation that contributes so much in this regard. . . . [N]o one can gainsay the invaluable contribution this treatise has made in illuminating diverse dissociative symptomatology in the complex clinical contexts in which it is most often encountered, and too often overlooked., [This book] does a fantastic job of explaining the dissociative process of patients who have struggled with connecting their painful history to their current reality. . . . [S]uited for a student in training, a mental health professional, or a layman with prior knowledge of the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy. . . [A] great book for professionals working with clients who dissociate. . . . Chefetz offers an inside look at dissociative processes and stimulates the reader's mind on how to intervene, heal, and care for someone struggling with dissociation., Extraordinary.... We never forget, with Alter's Psalms, that the text we are reading is the work of human hands--not Holy Writ, but something at once less and more than that, great poetry., The achievement of this new translation is to present the Book of Psalms as a wonder of ancient literature., Every reader of this translation will be led towards fresh thoughts and will discover favorites that inspire the imagination in new, rich ways., In his compelling and swiftly moving translations, Alter has thrust the reader back to the place where the monotheistic religions were born out of even more ancient beginnings., Reading this book feels like a friendly, usable bridge for any therapist interested in a more complete understanding of psychodynamic concepts, the enduring effects of developmental trauma, and how to engage with patients who have a fundamental fear of being visible to us and to themselves. . . . Despite its title and emphasis on treating dissociative disorders, this book should also be read as a significant contribution to the general understanding of psychopathology and psychological defense., Avoiding the density of a traditional textbook, Intensive Psychotherapy for Persistent Dissociative Processes takes an intimate look at the techniques that the author incorporates within his own practice. It couples this with a presentation style accessible for professional readership of diverse experience and methodology. . . . [A] highly illuminative book for how treatment for dissociative processes is unique . . . . For those therapists who are currently or expecting to encounter these processes in their work, the book is an expansive resource., One of the best outcomes of Alter's translation is a sense of an abrupt, muscular intensity; he restores to the Psalms a kind of strangeness that emanates from an encounter with a culture we recognize yet is distinctly alien to us, far removed in time and frame of mind., Chefetz shows by example that we can reach beyond the limits of these disabling disorders. . . . It is clear from case illustrations that Chefetz has a special talent for working with complex conditions, as well guiding less experienced clinicians. Reading this book, I felt the comfort of talking with a mentor about my own difficult or confusing cases. . . . Few resources on this topic rival this well-written book. Without hesitation, I recommend it to all clinicians who work with complex disorders.
