Contents:
The borderline fallacies -- The dialectics of failure -- The patient career -- The game : treating the problem of treatment seeking -- The attitudinal conditions for the game -- Relationship -- Clinician's authorship -- Motivation and change -- Deinstitutionalizing institutions -- Conclusion : alienation, dehumanization, conformity, and their influence on parasuicidal behavior.
Summary: In the United States, over 1/4 of all psychiatric emergency room visits each year are for chronically acute behaviors often labeled "parasuicidal," leading to a continuous loop of complaints and ineffective interventions. This book offers an effective way out. It introduces a theory that radically departs from current ideas about such behaviors.
