| Summary: | Out of the experience gained in training psychiatric residents in a large VA neuropsychiatric training center, a program is presented illustrating the use of "sector psychotherapy" on the Open Ward Service and the "associative anamnesis technique" upon which it is based. The purpose is not to analyze the mass of interview material but "to read between the lines" and to detect the blending of the patient's unconscious phantases with manifest material and to communicate these to the patient. Besides 3 theoretical chapters, there are 12 other chapters on as many disorders, each with a case presentation, preliminary discussion, the interview, a final discussion and follow-up. There is a final, integrating summary chapter. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
