Opis

In Core Concepts in Contemporary Psychoanalysis, alongside its companion piece Core Concepts in Classical Psychoanalysis, Morris N. Eagle asks: of all the core concepts and formulations of psychoanalytic theory, which ones should be retained, which should be modified, and in what ways, and which should be discarded? Unlike other previous discussions of such concepts, this book systematically evaluates them in the light of conceptual critique as well as recent research based evidence and empirical data.
