About:
I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with more than 35 years of experience in the Washington DC area. I have a psychotherapy-based practice, but will use medications as needed. I work with adolescents and adults and also counsel couples. My style of working is based on empathic understanding and careful listening. Effective psychotherapy is based on being able to establish a clear focus on issues that bring people to seek help, identifying past and present coping patterns that may contribute to the problems, and establishing a safe place and good therapeutic alliance with my patients. I blend psychodynamic, cognitive and emotional self-regulating techniques in my clinical work.

Attachment Theory and the Psychoanalytic Process 1st Edition: Attachment theory, the brainchild of child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, has begun to have a worldwide impact among clinicians within the last ten years. This interest marks a departure from the early fate of attachment theory. At first, shunned by the psychoanalytic community, Bowlby's brilliant and groundbreaking effort to recast basic psychoanalytic concepts within system theories and a new, ethologically based model of the importance of affectional ties across the life span was taken up by a group of gifted developmental researchers. Empirical research not only tested and confirmed many basic propositions of attachment theory but also extended Attachment theory in unexpected and creative ways. Bowlby was surprised and gratified by this turn of events, but also disappointed that his intended clinical audience has not taken the theory and run with it. This edited book is in part a testament to the fact that clinicians are beginning to do just that; they are taking Attachment theory and research creatively to examine clinical issues. In doing so, new vistas and hypotheses are being put forward showing that Attachment theory is alive and well. In this volume, the editors gathered a distinguished group of clinician-scholars from around the world (Argentina, Italy, Mexico, UK, USA, and Spain) to examine and extend Bowlby's legacy. The book should be of interest to clinicians regardless of their orientation. Attachment theory cuts across boundaries of clinical modalities-individual, group, or family therapy-and orientations-psychoanalytic, cognitive or behavioral. The book should also be of interest to researchers who may find the heuristic value of clinical insights a valuable addition to the legacy of Attachment theory. http://www.amazon.com/Attachment-Psychoanalytic-Process-Mauricio-Cortina/dp/186156287X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374595107&sr=8-1&keywords=mauricio+cortina
