PRACTICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS FOR
THERAPISTS AND PATIENTSby Owen Renik
In this essential new book, Owen Renik describeshow clinical psychoanalysis can focus on symptom
relief and deliver resultsefficiently. With a humane,direct, and engaging voice,he takes up how to begintreatment, how to end it, andhow to deal with the in-between. He offers chapterson the therapy of panica t t a c k s a n ddepersonalization, on how toget out of an impasse, on the
relation between sexual desire and power in theanalytic relationship, on patients who seem to wantto sabotage their treatments, on flying blind as ananalyst, and on a number of other intriguing,important practical topics. Renik's down-to-earthpresentation and discussion of clinical anecdotes,combined with useful recommendations for bothanalyst and patient, amounts to a clear and readablehow-to manual. The book is intended for all mentalhealth caregivers, patients and potential patients, andfor anyone who is curious about what makes for aneffective, helpful psychotherapy.
Praise for PRACTICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS FORTHERAPISTS AND PATIENTS:
"A brave, brilliant, and lively book that restores thecentrality of therapeutic benefit in psychoanalysis.Its structure as a casebook gives the reader thebenefit of seeing the analyst and his patients at worktogether in an array of very practical situationswhich are, at the same time, of the emotionallydeepest kind." -- Antonino Ferro, member of theInternational Psychoanalytical Association and theItalian Psychoanalytical Society.
"PRACTICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS is an exemplar ofwhat it means to be evidence-based. At every turn,Renik asks, "Is the patient being helped?" ReadingPRACTICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS is like meeting witha good consultant, liberating patients and cliniciansto look at their work with fresh eyes." -- KimberlynLeary, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School.
"From the first page we know ourselves to be in aworkshop, not a temple. His matter-of-factness isbreathtaking: what's useful is what's important,what's not need not detain us. . . . True believers areto be warned: they may never be the same again." -Allen Wheelis, author of How People Change andThe Way We Are.
"Renik is an outstanding clinician and theorist whohas redefined the two-person, therapeutic
perspective. His 'one-of-a-kind' book presentsclinical examples of thediversity of patient-analystinteractions, providingdazzling descriptions ofclinical cases, each ofwhich depicts turningpoints in the therapy. Hisb o o k i s o r i g i n a l ,t h e r a p e u t i c a l l yenlightening, and will, I
believe, broaden the perspective of its readers." --Ethel Spector Person, M.D., Training andSupervising Analyst, Columbia UniversityPsychoanalytic Center for Training and Research,Coeditor of The APPI Textbook of Psychotherapist.

How to translate Board or Board Certified intoSpanish is not agreed upon. Comisión or Junta couldbe used for Board. The problem is that there areother medical and regulatory comisiones or juntas atthe local State level. So, it would be necessary torefer to a Junta Nacional de tal o cual especialidadand say Certificación Nacional. This is an opinion.Readers are invited to join in this conversation.

bariatric surgery - refers to surgery on the stomachor intestine designedto control extremeobesity. There aretwo main types: a)an adjustable gastricbanding or b) agastric bypass. Ingastric banding theband is placed in theupper portion of thestomach, close to theesophagus, so that
the size of the gastric pouch defines the amount offood that can be eaten. The size of the opening intothe pouch can becontrolled byin f l a t i n g ordeflating theband through aport that isi m p l a n t e dbeneath the skinof the abdomen.In a gastricbypass a stomachpouch is formed and detached from the rest of thestomach. Then a piece of small intestine is connectedto the pouch entirely bypassing the rest of thestomach.
Boards - in the medical field this word is most oftenassociated with either a) organizations that grantcertifications of one kind or another to physicians, orb) the tests that are required before granting suchcertification.. The National Board of MedicalExaminers (NBME)1 is the entity that administersthe tests that medical students must pass as arequisite to obtain the medical school diploma in aUS medical school. The testing assessments areknown as the United States Medical LicensingExaminations (or Steps) 2. The USMLE Step1 istaken upon completion of the first two years ofmedical school in the US or Canada. USMLE Step 2is taken upon completion of the remaining two yearsof medical school and Step 3 follows the firstpostgraduate year of training to assess thephysician’s ability to practice medicine in anunsupervised environment. Satisfactory completionof all three tests is necessary in order to obtain aState license within the United States.
The next certification category is in the hands of theAmerican Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) 3.Following successful completion of training in aprimary medical specialty the physician must pass atest created and administered by the ABMS. Uponpassing the ABMS test for the particular specialtythe physician is then Board Certified. Furthertraining in any subspecialty area under the primarymedical specialty is conducive to obtaining furtherBoard certification by means of further successfulcompletion of the subspecialty board examination.
To illustrate the above further: examples of primaryspecialties are Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatricsand others. Within Internal Medicine there are 18recognized subspecialties such as Cardiology,Gastroenterology, Pulmonary Diseases, Hematologyand others. Within Pediatrics there are 21 recognizedsubspecialties such as Pediatric Cardiology,Adolescent Medicine, Child Abuse Pediatrics, etc.4
A Pediatric Cardiologist is possibly certified in bothPediatrics and Cardiology.
