Patricia R. Frisch - Whole Therapist, Whole Patient: Integrating Reich, Masterson and Jung in Modern Psychotherapy

Integrating the work of Reich, Masterson, and Jung, Whole Therapist, Whole Patient is a step-by-step guidebook for professionals to learn about the psychology of their patients and conduct treatment in a dynamic way. This text combines Reichs character analyses, Mastersons work on personality disorders, and Jungs dream analyses to create a clear typology of character types that therapists can use to understand themselves and their patients. Also included are case management techniques and guidance for working with difficult patients. In addition, readers can turn to the books online resources to access a downloadable patient package, case presentation guide, and psychological history form.

Patricia R. Frisch, PhD, MFT, is a licensed psychologist, as well as founder and executive director of the Orgonomic Institute of Northern California (OINC), where she mentors, supervises, and trains professionals in character analysis, somatic interventions, and diagnostic typologies. She authored a chapter in Encyclopedia of Theory in Counseling and Psychotherapy (SAGE Publications, 2015). Dr. Frisch also maintains an active private practice in Mill Valley, California.

In bringing together three of the most significant theorists of modern psychologyWilhelm Reich, James Masterson, and Carl JungPatricia Frisch has developed distinct ways of championing the revitalization of Reichian theory and practice toward a masterful blend in which the body remains at the center of the work. Whole Therapist, Whole Patient is a must read, both for senior practitioners who will be guided to develop their own work to the next level of sophistication as well as for graduate students who will learn grounded theory and practice toward the integration of soma and psyche.
