Summary:"I am convinced beyond doubt that this is a book that is "a must read" by all clinicians whether psychotherapists or psychoanalysts. The vignettes illustrate clearly psychoanalytic concepts that are usually difficult to grasp and quite useful for teaching purposes." Dr Antoine Hani, Director of the Institute of Psychoanalysis, Washington.
