Sinopsis

Circles of Change represents the culmination of Dr. Abrahams&rsquo, sevenádecade career as a psychoanalyst. In this two volume book he comesáfull circle from his roots as one of the creative leaders of Americaáinstitutional psychiatry starting at Fort Knox Military Prison andáSt. Elizabeth&rsquo,s Hospital in Washington D.C. to return from a longásojourn in private practice in Southern California to Atascadero StateáHospital from 1990 through 1996, which is the subject of this study.áDuring his unique and varied career, Dr. Abrahams&rsquo, studied with,áwas in analysis and interacted with luminaries of American psychoanalysisásuch as Frieda Fromm Reichmann, Harry Stack Sullivan, JamesáRosen, Edith Weigert and Karl Menninger. He truly deserves a place,áas this book demonstrates, as one of their peers. He has made singularácontributions to psychoanalytic theory and practice, particularly withárespect to the treatment of those patients who have been consideredáleast accessible to traditional psychoanalytic therapy. Long before the seminal works of Kernberg and Kohut, which are referenced in theáannotated bibliography, he developed successful models and techniquesáfor treating patients with narcissisticáand psychopathic personalities as well as psychosis and mood disorders.
