(Dr. Judith Mishne's book shows how to raise self-reliant ...)
Dr. Judith Mishne's book shows how to raise self-reliant children who thrive at school. Written for parents and for professionals working with children and their parents, this book demonstrates that children's social development must be given paramount importance in order for them to achieve long-term school success. Particularly in the early years a child's sense of self and his or her ability to trust the environment are the qualities that need to be nurtured more than cognitive skills. Dr. Mishne shows parents how to be effective caregivers by knowing realistically what to expect from a child based on a well-illustrated developmental timetable and an appreciation for individual differences. From supporting bids for autonomy to structuring homework assignments, she gives parents the know-how for managing challenges. She also dispels popular misconceptions about children that can impede healthy parent-child interaction and child development. Throughout, Dr. Mishne suggests how to engender in children independence, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility for themselves and their studies.

(There has always been a gap between theory and practice i...)
There has always been a gap between theory and practice in psychotherapeutic work. Beginning and experienced practitioners alike must struggle to integrate a variety of models and concepts that approach the practice of psychotherapy in vastly different ways. In The Evolution and Application of Clinical Theory, Judith Mishne offers a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to four influential models of personality development and organization: traditional psychoanalytic drive theory, ego psychology, object relations theory, and self psychology, systematically exploring their implications for clinical practice. Included is a history of the psychoanalytic movement from Freud to the present, with special attention paid to the professionals, politics, and personalities that have contributed to its growth and modification. In developing this history, the author shows the interrelationship of theoretical concepts, explaining why theories change and how clinical, social, personal, and political factors dictate the timing of those changes. Mishne then goes on to clearly and effectively demonstrate the application of these psychoanalytic theories to individual, family, and marital treatment. Drawing on an extensive case study, which includes individual treatment of an adolescent along with parent guidance, marital treatment, and family therapy, she applies the four psychologies, illustrating how each can be used and how they differ. Finally, she addresses the issue of conflicting paradigms and suggests ways in which clinicians can benefit from an understanding of all four models in assessment and treatment. The Evolution and Application of Clinical Theory with its unique application of different theoretical models to a specific case, is an invaluable reference for the novice and experienced practitioner alike. It can also be used in courses in clinical theory and clinical practice.

(Clients in psychodynamic therapy come from all ethnic and...)
Clients in psychodynamic therapy come from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, as do therapists, yet cross-cultural issues are often oversimplified or ignored in clinical practice and training. This volume helps therapists incorporate awareness of diversity into all phases of treatment, from referral and assessment to working through and termination. Using extensive case material, Judith Mishne illuminates the ways that differences in ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, class background, and age enter into both the personal identity of client and therapist and the moment-to-moment process of therapy. She offers clear guidance for understanding and navigating the intersubjective issues that arise, drawing from the literatures of multicultural therapy, self psychology, and object relations. Demonstrating how to build and sustain a strong, empathic treatment alliance--one based on openness, self-awareness, curiosity, and specific cultural knowledge--this book is a vital resource for contemporary clinicians.

Judith Marks Mishne was born on February 21, 1932, in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. She was a daughter of Moses Isaac Marks, a physician, and Lillian (Kemelman) Marks.
Mishne received her Master of Arts Degree at Case Western Reserve University in 1955. She attended Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago for 4 years from 1970. Additionally, she obtained Doctor of Social Work degree from Hunter College of the City University of New York in 1981.
Mishne's career began in 1966 when she held a position of an assistant professor at the School of Social Service Administration in Chicago; she worked there for 10 years. In 1975 she was appointed as an adjunct faculty member of the Smith College in Northampton, staying there till 1982.

1996Mishne was a member of the National Federation of Societies for Clinical Social Work, the Council on Social Work Education, the National Association of Social Workers, the Association of Child and Adolescent Therapists, the National Academy of Practice in Social Work, the Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology, as well as of the Illinois Association of Clinical Social Workers.
Mishne's motivation for writing emanated out of her years of graduate school instruction. Her work was greatly influenced by psychoanalytic theory and principles of social work practice. The writing process flew quite easily for Mishne, as she concentrated and strove (as in teaching) to clarify complex clinical and theoretical material. She wrote and taught via the case method in her effort to administer and integrate theory and practice.
Mishne is survived by her son Jonathan.
