Opis

At the center of this book is the couple relationship. The contributors emphasize the complex nature of the couple attachment, drawing both on psychoanalytic concepts and on attachment theory. Integrating theory with practice, the chapters offer new insights into the intricate web of psychic fantasies, shared unconscious anxieties and external realities that shape the attachment between the couple.

This book will be of great interest to all practitioners involved in couple work and can be used as a teaching aid. It however has a much wider appeal and is to be recommended to anyone with a wish to further their appreciation of attachment as it manifests itself in the couple relationship.
