    An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis assesses the state of psychoanalysis in the 21st century. Joel Paris examines areas where analysis needs to develop a stronger scientific and clinical base, and to integrate its ideas with modern clinical psychology and psychiatry. While psychoanalysis has declined as an independent discipline, it continues to play a major role in clinical thought. Paris explores the extent to which analys…

  • Can sociocultural and historical mechanisms influence the development of borderline personality disorder

    Open AccessJoel Paris, Eric LisARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2013Cited by: 3References: 47

    Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a common and severe clinical problem. While cross-cultural research suggests that this condition can be identified in different societies, indirect evidence suggests that BPD and some of its associated symptoms (suicidality and self-harm) have a higher prevalence in developed countries. If so, sociocultural and historical mechanisms may have influenced the development of the disorder. While the vulnerabili…

  • The use and misuse of psychiatric drugs

    Open AccessJoel ParisBOOKThe use and misuse of psychiatric…2010

    The message of this book is that psychiatrists have some very good drugs, but can expect bad results when they are over-used, prescribed outside of evidence-based indications, or given to the wrong patients. While acknowledging that many current agents are highly effective and have revolutionized the treatment of certain disorders, Joel Paris criticizes their use outside of an evidence base. Too many patients are either over-medicated or are misd…

  • Succès et échecs dans le traitement de patients souffrant de troubles de la personnalité limite

    Open AccessJoel ParisARTICLESanté mentale au Québec2008

    Cet article examine les principales options de traitement de patients souffrant de troubles de la personnalité limite. Les interventions pharmacologiques sont de valeur marginale et l'hospitalisation ne s'est pas révélée valable pour la prévention du suicide chez cette population. La psychothérapie psychodynamique n'a pas fait ses preuves non plus, mais la thérapie dialectique comportementale produit une amélioration symptomatique. Les patients s…

  • Prescriptions for the mind

    Joel ParisBOOKPrescriptions for the mind2008

    The practice of psychiatry has undergone great changes in recent years. In this book, Joel Paris, MD, a veteran psychiatrist, provides a fluently written and accessible "state-of-the-field" assessment. Himself a clinician, researcher, and teacher, Paris focuses on the most striking change within the field--the diverging roles of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy in contemporary practice. Where once psychiatrists were trained in Freudian psycho…

  • Le suicide chez les patients présentant des troubles de la personnalité limite

    Open AccessJoel ParisARTICLESanté mentale au Québec2007

    Les patients qui souffrent de troubles liés à la personnalité limite (PL) représentent un défi clinique principalement en raison de leur tendance chronique au suicide. La recherche menée sur les résultats à long terme montre qu'environ 10% des patients présentant des troubles de la PL finiront par réussir leur suicide, mais qu'il reste difficile de prédire lesquels sont le plus à risque. Il n'existe encore aucune preuve qu'on puisse prévenir le s…

  • Social Factors in the Personality Disorders

    Open AccessJoel ParisARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry1997Cited by: 5References: 55

    Personality disorders are pathological amplifications of normal personality traits. Although the form of personality pathology largely depends on underlying traits, which are under strong genetic influence, different social structures tend to reinforce some traits and discourage others. The most important social factors in the personality disorders are those risk or protective factors that influence the process by which traits are amplified. Mode…

    Open AccessJoel ParisARTICLETranscultural Psychiatric…1994Cited by: 1References: 44

    Evolutionary principles can explain many aspects of human social behaviour. Despite important contro versies concerning the theory of sociobiology, evol utionary models offer cogent explanations for social phenomena such as altruism and parental investment. Evolutionary social science also has an important relevance for transcultural psychiatry, in that it is consistent with a biopsychosocial model for the etiology of psychiatric disorders, and p…
