Neuroses: Clinical Presentation, Prevention, Treatment

The book by the well-known psychotherapist Mikhail Litvak is devoted to a systematic study of neuroses and methods of treating them. The author is a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, a psychotherapist registered in the European registry, a specialist in psychology and psychiatry, the creator of the KROSS club (a club for those who decided to learn how to master stressful situations), and the author of many works on self-development and personal growth. In this edition, the author examines personality complexes in detail, tracing connections between their structure, predisposing factors, and clinical manifestations. A comprehensive treatment program is proposed, aimed at correcting personal, somato-vegetative, psychopathological, and adaptive components of the disorder. Special emphasis is placed on the author’s technique of targeted emotional modeling. The book is intended for psychiatrists, psychotherapists, medical psychologists, and other mental health professionals—as well as readers interested in practical psychology and pedagogy.
