James F. Masterson Summary

James F. Masterson: A Contemporary Introduction by Loray Daws (Psychologist in private practice, Canada)

In this volume, Loray Daws traces the life and work of Dr. James F. Masterson, with a focus on the scientific development and later expansion of the six developmental stages of the Masterson Method.

Exploring more than 15 of Mastersons volumes, as well as countless articles, Daws shows how Mastersons approach to Object Relations and the developmental self can serve clinicians in both conceptualizing and treating borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid disorders of self. Considering the pioneering and innovative nature of Mastersons work, Daws looks at how he creatively expanded on Freuds theories on repression, successfully developing therapeutically sound ways to touch and transform developmental trauma and trauma reflected in a deep abandonment depression.

James F. Masterson: A Contemporary Introduction will be of interest to students in psychology, psychiatry, and psychiatric nursing, as well as psychoanalytically orientated psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and those specializing in the ever-growing field of the treatment of the disorders of the self.

James F. Masterson Reviews

'This is a splendid primer on the legendary work of James Masterson. In this scholarly yet accessible introduction, Loray Daws shows the chronology of his mentors novel contributions to understanding borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid phenomena; and is able to distill with supple elegance the complex developmental and clinical theories Masterson contributed to articulating and treating disorders of the self. An essential read for those working with character pathology. '

Professor Jon Mills, Department of Psychosocial & Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, and author of Psyche, Culture, World: Excursions in Existentialism and Psychoanalytic Philosophy (Routledge, 2022)

'James Masterson, MD., created foundational concepts in understanding and treating personality disorders. In authoring this book, Loray Daws, a preeminent practitioner of the Masterson approach, provides essentials. Masterson will stand in history as one of psychotherapy's luminous voices. His work guides my practice.'

Jeffrey K Zeig, Ph.D, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation; Architect of the Evolution of Psychotherapy Conferences

'Dr. Daws offers far more than an introductory primer, this book is a passionate detailed and remarkable rendering of the breadth and scope of James Mastersons significant psychoanalytic theoretical/clinically contributions (along with Mastersons associates) coupled with the authors compelling story of a clinicians journey to find the deepest understanding of the human experience. Dr. Daws fluidly manages the diverse notions of psychoanalytic developmental/object relations theory with an eye toward blending theory, with true-to-life clinical examples, displaying that rare combination of astute technical acumen while sustaining approachable humanistic observations of the very nature of psychoanalytic treatment.'

Jack Schwartz, PsyD, NCPsyA, training analyst/faculty NJI and ORI, writer and lecturer
