Opis

The Infantile in Psychoanalytic Practice Today demonstrates the concept of the Infantile, first proposed almost a quarter of a century ago, and the ways in which it has become an indispensable tool in contemporary psychoanalytic clinical practice.

Recenzje

"As with so much else from French psychoanalysis, it acts as a yeast to ferment the metap>sychology that has formed and informed us all, over the years. The level of thinking mixes classical Freud with much that is contemporary from André Green and from Klei>nians in the mid-twentieth Century.[...] This is a book which has relevance that spans from child analysis and psychotherapy to adult psychoanalytic practice, to work with couples and families, and includes an interesting chapter on psychodynamic splitting in institutions, and moreover a specific relevance perhaps for the budding discipline of parent-infant psychotherapy."
-Bob Hinshelwood, Infant Observation
