If you are looking for an excellent extensive review and update on psychotherapy integration from a psychoanalytic perspective, Herron and Javier's latest book is the book for you. It also contains a thought-provoking chapter on the impact of intersectionality and bilingualism on therapy for trauma.--F. Michler Bishop, PhD, private practice, New York; author of Modern Integrative Counseling and Psychotherapy In their inspiring new book, Herron and Javier--two trusted and respected authors--tackle the formidable task of revitalizing psychodynamic approaches to address a wider range of problems and reach a broader segment of society. This book succeeds on multiple levels. It makes a compelling case for retrofitting psychodynamic approaches by bringing them up to date with current knowledge and integrating them with other fields. Such a revision is urgent if psychodynamic approaches are to fulfill their potential for wider application in the midst of the current mental health crisis. Critical to retrofitting psychodynamic approaches is placing the patient at the center of treatment and elevating the amelioration of suffering as the clinician's prime objective. Herron and Javier convincingly challenge the all too prevalent notion that symptom relief is secondary to improved insight. The Patient as the Center has the potential to not only change the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy but also, by detailing the iatrogenic impact of managed care, it has the rare potential to affect social policy.--Christopher Christian, PhD, editor-in-chief, Psychoanalytic Psychology; assistant clinical professor, Yale School of Medicine; training and supervising analyst, Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research
