At its finest it describes Rentoul’s own professional life, personal struggles, and the ways that these two are inextricably entwined. It is also quite good as a critique of classical Freudian theory and technique and an introduction to Ferenczi’s thinking. For those students or clinicians interested in these topics, I recommend it. * Clinical Social Work Journal *
