Unlocking the Unconscious: Selected Papers of Habib Davanloo, MD

This collection of papers represents a valuable account of the development over several years of a powerful and innovative technique for overcoming resistance and confronting problems of the unconscious. The author offers a body of theoretical, metapsychological and technical knowledge which can be used with extraordinary precision to mobilize unconscious mental processes in order to achieve therapeutic results. The clinical material presented in these papers demonstrates how a single interview can provide a unique opportunity for both the therapist and patient to have a direct view of the core of the patient's neurotic structure, which is responsible for the patient's symptoms and character disturbances.
