Reviews
Irma Brenman Pick, among the most respected and admired analysts in the British Society, is particularly known, and her work particularly valued, for her emotional acuity, her close and sensitive attention to what goes on within the analytic couple. The papers in this book vividly illustrate her ability to keep in mind the pressures, impulses and defences of both partners in the analytic couple and the way these play out in- and can sometimes interfere with- the analytic process. Brenman-Pick has become a valued teacher internationally. This book is sure to interest her many admirers, and to introduce this important work to a larger audience. -Priscilla Roth, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst, Fellow, British Psychoanalytic Society. These papers reflect the wealth and depth of Irma Brenman-Pick's clinical experience. She explores the range of unconscious phantasies that embody both the patient's destructiveness, and their more positive feelings. In her vivid clinical vignettes, she shows, with courage and sensitivity, the impact the projection of such phantasies have on the analyst, and demonstrates an impressive capacity to recognise and to work through what the patient evokes in the analyst and how this interacts with elements in the analyst's own personality. -Michael Feldman, Chair, Melanie Klein Trust.
