Opis

Love and hate seem to be the dominant emotions that make the world go round and are a central theme in psychotherapy. Love and Hate explores the origins of love and hate from infancy and how they develop through the life cycle. With clinical illustration throughout, it brings together contemporary views about clinical practice on how psychotherapists and analysts work with and think about love and hate in the tranfserence and counter transference and explores how different schools of thought deal with the subject. A broad spectrum of psychoanalytic perspectives are represented, including Kleinian, Jungian, Independent Group, and Lacanian, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and analytical psychologists. It should be of value to practitioners and students of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, analytical psychology and counselling.
