As Pinto argues, we cannot pin down truth or ethics or counter-ethics. Pinto offers ethics and counter-ethics as a more capacious and generative method to think about lives and living. But Pinto's broader theoretical innovation is in developing the idea of ethics and counter-ethics through the retelling of the conversations between the doctor and the analysand.

Highlights from the article: The initial six chapters argue that we can think about the etiology and treatment of schizophrenic patients from a psychological perspective (chapter 1); describe the care of schizophrenic patients prior to the twentieth century (chapter 2); and focus on the contributions of early-twentieth-century pioneers of psychotherapeutic approaches to schizophrenic disorders during the first four decades of the twentieth century (chapters 3-6). His lucid and precise discussion presents a brief overview of psychological approaches to the treatment of schizophrenia, beginning with the impact of Freud's early psychoanalytic writings on Bleuler and others who were treating schizophrenic patients at the Burghölzli. In addition, the analyst's capacity to develop an interactive relationship with the patient, as well as an empathic countertransference toward the patient, was an essential precursor to the successful treatment of psychotic/schizophrenic patients. Other hallmarks of need-adapted treatment are flexible therapeutic activities based on the changing needs of the patient and his/her family; a psychotherapeutic attitude toward treatment; various therapeutic endeavors working in concert with one another; a long-term therapeutic process; and follow-up evaluation of patients, families, and the treatment systems (pp. 170-171).

Abstract: This paper reviews Hofmann’s (2012) An Introduction to Modern CBT: Psychological Solutions to Mental Health Problems. Hofmann’s book is a new tool in the struggle to disseminate CBT to the uninitiated and to train new clinicians in the basic elements of cognitive behavioral treatments. This book is an accessible introduction to basic cognitive behavioral models and techniques across a variety of conditions, with ample hypothetical case material to illustrate the approaches described. The book provides a theoretical introduction to CBT, discusses the general processes and procedures used in treatment, illustrates the approach in 10 specific problem areas, and summarizes empirical support for the approaches described. Particularly helpful are the clinical examples, learning objectives, suggested exercises, and sample dialogues that are provided. While the book tends to give less attention to the behavioral tradition in CBT, and is not intended to illustrate the use of CBT in complex cases or diverse populations, it achieves the author’s goal of providing a primer on both traditional CBT techniques and emerging CBT technologies. Students, new clinicians, allied health professionals, and patients can benefit from this important work. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
