Opis

The author of this text argues that clinical material is approached with certain values and theoretical points of view that inform and organize that clinical material. He looks at the role of empathy in analytic method, and the place of the self in the analyst's explanatory strategies.

Goldberg uses the questions posed by self psychology as point of entry to a thoughtful consideration of issues with which every clinician wrestles: the scientific status analysis, the relationships among its competing theories, the role of empathy in analytic method, and the place of the "self" in the analyst's explanatory strategies. Clinical chapters show how the notion of the self can provide organizing insights into little-appreciated character structures.
