Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manualsecond edition PDM-2 Edited by Vittorio Lingiardi
MD, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
Nancy McWilliams
PhD, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Now completely revised (over 90% new), this is the authoritative diagnostic manual grounded in psychodynamic clinical models and theories. Explicitly oriented toward case formulation and treatment planning, PDM-2 offers practitioners an empirically based, clinically useful alternative or supplement to DSM and ICD categorical diagnoses. Leading international authorities systematically address personality functioning and psychological problems of infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, including clear conceptualizations and illustrative case examples. The second edition includes significant revisions to all chapters, reflecting a decade of clinical, empirical, and methodological advances. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download and print five reproducible PDM-derived rating scales in a convenient 8 1/2” x 11” size. The website also features additional case illustrations and assessment resources. Sponsoring associations include the International Psychoanalytical Association, Division 39 of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work and six other major organizations. This event is organized with the contribution of the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental Disorders and Learning (ICDL) in collaboration with The New School for Social Research: Dept. of Psychology.

“PDM finally has given clinicians - as well as researchers and theorists - an alternative to DSM, which is largely based on symptom counting. As the editors state, PDM provides a ‘taxonomy of people’ rather than a ‘taxonomy of disorders.’ While the first edition was a monumental achievement, the second edition is even more impressive. It is an invaluable resource not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for teaching and research. I recommend this book to anyone interested in an ecologically valid way of assessing personality and mental functioning.” - Morris N. Eagle “It is quite difficult to achieve agreement on psychiatric diagnosis, and almost impossible to achieve agreement on psychodynamic concepts. The most interesting aspects of human nature are inherently the very hardest to agree upon, because they are also the most idiosyncratic, complicated, buried, and inferential. This heroically ambitious book is a startlingly successful synthesis of the confusing babel of different psychoanalytic tongues. It will improve the daily practice of psychodynamic clinicians, enliven teaching in the field, and contribute to the infant field of psychodynamic research. A labor of love and erudition.” - Allen Frances “People are more than their diagnoses. Diagnostic formulations rooted in the diversity and humanity of the people we aim to help and, at the same time, rooted in carefully evaluated empirical evidence represent the real gold standard in our field. This synthesis is precisely what PDM-2 aims for. The book will be of value both to practicing clinicians and to those teaching the next generation to think in ways that combine rigor with empathy for the client’s experience.” - Paul L. Wachtel
THE PDM-2 CONFERENCE June 2-3, 2017 Psychodynamic PDM-2 Diagnostic Manual
second edition
The New School for Social Research: Dept. of Psychology Theresa Lang Community and Student Center Room I-202 at Arnhold Hall 55 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10011
“A masterful work that fills a gap in the clinical literature. This 21st-century psychodynamic manual not only covers diagnostic formulations, but also presents validated research tools that can be used in assessment of patients. PDM-2 takes a lifespan approach, covering infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. The inclusion of extensive case material helps the editors achieve their goal of addressing the complexities rather than just the symptoms of patients.” - Miriam Steele
