Opis

This volume presents a collection of case studies by analysts who have treated patients who have committed serious acts of violence, either against others or themselves. Each detailed clinical account demonstrates the effectiveness of the psychoanalytic treatment and aims to further our understanding of the nature of violence. The text also contains a comprehensive review of the existing literature on aggression and violence from America, England and France, drawing out major themes which should be of interest to all those working with violent and suicidal patients.
