Opis

"Self-Analysis" is a fascinating examination of the mode of disciplined self-inquiry that gave rise to psychoanalysis. What emerges from the reflections of the contributors is not only an illuminating window into the psychoanalyst's subjectivity as a fact of clinical life, but a far-reaching exemplification of the ways in which self-understanding is always a constitutive part of our understanding of others.
