Peter L. Rudnytsky

Opis

In this study, Peter Rudnytsky presents ten substantive and provocative interviews with leading analysts (Enid Balint, Charles Rycroft, Stephen A. Mitchell, Roy Schafer, Jessica Benjamin), with theorists from allied fields (Mary Ainsworth, Peter Lomas, Peter Kramer), and with influential Freud critics (Frank Sulloway, Peter Swales). In conversations that Rudnytsky succeeds in making psychoanalytic both in form and in content, he guides his interlocutors to unforeseen reflections on the events and forces that shaped their lives (including, where appropriate, their experiences as analysands), and on the personal and intellectual grounds of their beliefs and practices.
