For each of the following authors, I would like to know:
1.	their profession (e.g. priest, social worker, scientist, therapist, etc.), and 
2.	if they are in the therapy field, what their theoretical
orientations are (e.g. cognitive-behavioral, Jungian analyst,
object-relations, etc.)
(It?s okay if unable to find information on one or two on the list.
Need response ASAP but the latest April 30, 2005).

Thanx muuch!

I can give the professions of all of them.  I can also give you
information on the theoretical orientation of almost all, if not all,
of them, but usually not in one word (Jungian, e.g.).  Would a
description of their therapeutic orientation, rather than a one or two
word label, be completely satisfactory?

yes, that would be fine to use more than a word or two - thanks!

porko ?

For your convenience, I will list each author?s full name, a link to a
site confirming that he is the author of the book you cite, and his
profession.  I will then give you concise information (with citations)
that should help you understand his therapeutic approach.

Therapeutic Approach:

There is little available online about his therapeutic approach, as he
appears to be better known for his books on psychosocial cultural
issues involving women and families in South America, Israel and
Palestinian territory than for purely clinical work:

Bankhacker.com: Michael Gorkin
http://books.bankhacker.com/Michael+Gorkin/


However, he does appear to have a special interest in Freudian and
post-Freudian analysis:
  
?Although Freud sought to avoid the pull of countertransference, his
psychoanalytic descendants have embraced the concept as ?a tool of
some value in the therapeutic process.?  Michael Gorkin, for example,
describes the psychiatrist as at times employing countertransference
to ?participate emotionally in the drama directed by the patient.? At
other times, the psychiatrist defies countertransference so that she
can make an objective assessment of the patient?s progress. The result
is a continuing process which facilitates the psychiatrist in ?merging
with and separating from the patient.? [Citing ?The Uses of
Countertransference?]

Therapeutic Approach: There is very little information online
information about Br. Issacharoff.   He clearly has a special interest
in countertransference since, besides the article you are citing, he
has written other articles on the subject and contributed two chapters
to this book:

5. Hans Loewald

Author of ?Transference-countertransference?
Hans Loewald: Bibliography
http://psychematters.com/bibliographies/loewald.htm


Profession: Psychoanalyst


Therapeutic Approach: Loewald was an innovator and apparently very
hard to classify.  Here is a one-paragraph description:

?Hans Loewald is a comprehensive and original theorist on a par with
any major post-Freudian thinker, yet neither his ideas nor his person
have become the basis for a Loewaldian school or approach, and he is
not as well known as other innovators of comparable quality. In this
paper the author attempts to characterize the scope and depth of
Loewald's theory--his vision of the psyche and psychic life, or
metapsychology, his characterization of the psychoanalytic process,
and his vision of the clinical and human goals of psychoanalysis. She
suggests that Loewald holds in all of these realms, and without
apparent contradiction, a doubled--emphatically ego-psychological and
emphatically object-relational--perspective, and an equal commitment
to both the first topography and the structural theory.?

Search Strategy:

With a variety of Google searches, I determined the first names of the
authors.  I then used other Google searches to match the full names
with the works cited in your questions.  Then, the hard part, I
searched for information about their ?therapeutic approaches.?  Almost
all of the best sources for that kind of information are in journal
articles that are accessible online only for a price or a
subscription.  I did my best to piece together the most relevant
information on each author from available online sources by using
Google searches with terms that combined the author?s name with
various other terms, such as (among many others) "therapeutic,?
?analysis,? ?freudian? and ?object relations.?

Although I was not able to find convenient labels for the therapeutic
method of all of them, I hope that what I did find will serve your
purposes.  If anything is unclear, please ask for clarification before
rating the answer.
