Jill Savege Scharff introduces Sutherland s most important and influential essays. These reflect his range as a theoretician, moving easily from the intrapsychic to the interpersonal level, building bridges between points of view and integrating psychoanalytic and social theories. Sutherland s work calls for changes at the individual level...

Object relations therapy derives from psychoanalytic principles of listening, responding to unconscious material, interpreting, developing insight and working in the transference and countertransference toward understanding and growth. The family, however, is not related to as a set of individuals. It is viewed as a system comprising sets of relationships that function in ways unique to that family. These ways may support or obstruct the progress of the family or any of its individual members as they go through the developmental phases of family life.

In this landmark work on object relations, Dr. Jill Savage Scharff addresses the psychological processes of projective and introjective identification and countertransference. She carefully traces the debates about projective identification_the neurotic versus psychotic arguments and the intrapsychic versus interpersonal views. She holds that disagreements stem from unrecognized shifts in meaning of the term identification and unacknowledged differences of opinion as to where the identification takes place. For her, projective identification is an umbrella term for phenomena that can affect...

This text uses object relations theory for the dynamic therapy of marital conflict and sexual problems. The psychological mechanisms of transference, countertransference and projective identification are used in understanding, digesting, responding and conceptualising the whole experience in verbal form. The authors deal with the full complexity of the couple experience.

In an easy dialogue format, the Scharffs take readers beyond the forbidding aspects of theory and give them access to object relations therapy as a way of thinking and working that is easily understood and readily applicable to clinical practice.

Fairbairn and Sutherland were radical psychoanalytic thinkers who deeply respected Freud's invention of psychoanalysis, but who disagreed with his idea that human infants are motivated by the need to discharge tension arising from sexual and aggressive instincts. Fairbairn argued on the contrary that what infants need is to be in a meaningful relationship, and Sutherland carried forward Fairbairn's thinking on the development of the person as a member of a social group. International contributors set these psychoanalytic theorists in their philosophical and cultural context and discuss...

The essays clarify the manifold connections between the dynamics of family interaction and the internal object representations of its members. The book corrects the current bias in family studies and therapy, a bias which emphasizes the family system at the expense of understanding its members. The group's thinking is presented historically so that the reader recognizes the unfolding interplay among sensitive clinical observations, interventions, and the development and modification of elegant and provocative theory.
