Bekhtereva, 1995, 200 pp. Translation and scientific editing by V. D. Vida Gunther Ammon, a famous German psychiatrist and psychotherapist, offers the book “Dynamic Psychiatry,” which has gone through two editions in Germany. Dynamic psychiatry provides a core understanding of mental illness and the corresponding treatment possibilities in the family group, in the actual life situation, in the situation of a diagnostic examination. The doctor must not only make a diagnosis, but also justify it in detail. From the point of view of dynamic psychiatry, the problems of schizophrenia, depression, borderline psychiatry, psychosomatics, etc. are examined. The book examines psychoanalytic group psychotherapy, provides statistical data, and proposes a number of reforms in the transformation of psychiatry. The book is intended for psychiatrists and medical psychologists with training in the field theory and practice of psychoanalysis (or those familiar with psychoanalytic terminology). To facilitate the perception of the text of G. Ammon’s book, a glossary of his collaborator E. Fabian is published at the end.
