Reviews
Fallon and Sherkow have crafted an important work that establishes the critical significance of understanding the law and function of dysphoria and disorganization in the human mind. They powerfully argue that thought disorder is a normative process within the development of the psyche--a 'moment' that may nonetheless last for a long time--which provides vital clues in helping the mind transition from a state of pain and chaos to a fresh, more comprehensive state of mind in which a new reality can be accommodated. What the authors do with great mastery is get inside that moment and illuminate its motive structure and impulse to reorganization, thus helping the therapist to better understand and work with it. The cases contained herein beautifully make the point. I highly recommend this work to professionals working within the psychoanalytic discipline. -- Danielle Knafo, Ph.D., Long Island University, author of Dancing with the Unconscious
