Psychic Retreats: Pathological Organizations in Psychotic, Neurotic and Borderline Patients (The New Library of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 19)

Overview

Psychic Retreats: Pathological Organizations in Psychotic, Neurotic and Borderline Patients (The New Library of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 19) reads as a specialty medicine reference built around pathology. That gives it a clearer role than a general survey text.

Practical Use

This is mainly a working reference. It is the kind of book a reader may open for a chapter, a table, a concept check, or a focused review session.

Subject Focus

• Pathology material supports diagnostic reasoning and disease classification.

Likely Readers

The natural reader is laboratory professionals, pathology trainees, hematology readers, and diagnostic medicine staff. A casual browser may miss the point; this is more useful when the buyer already has a course, rotation, certification, or clinical problem in mind.

Editorial Notes

The tone is best approached as professional reference material. It should reward readers who need precise terminology and a clear route back to the subject later.
