Reviews

Dissecting the Superego is an exciting addition to the current literature on the superego. Freud first used the term `Uber Ich' in 1923. This splended collection of articles illustrates how the idea of 'over the ego' is alive and well in modern psychoanalytic thinking and in practice with child and adult patients. It also shows for example, how the concept is relevant to psychoanalytic training and the problems of training analysis. Altogether it is an excellent and rewarding read. -Bernard Barnett, author of You Ought To (2007)
