Reviews

...exciting and challenging book... there is much to learn from this book for clinical practice and I recommend it wholeheartedly. - Midland Journal of Psychotherapy ...for anyone also working with distressed, depressed, depleted, or psychically arrested adult patients, the relevance and inspiration of this book will be immediately apparent. - British Journal of Psychotherapy ...painful, yet positive text... I hope that many readers will take their time over the reading of it: their patience will be well rewarded. - Nursing Times I think this is a deeply moving and wise book in a realm where it is so difficult to be sure of anything. - Oliver Sacks A beautifully written, carefully documented exposition of thirty years' intensive psychoanalytic work... a book which child and adult psychoanalysts will treasure. - The Journal of Child Psychotherapy I cannot imagine a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who will not enjoy and value it. It has led me to some changes in the way I work, and it has explained some of the ways I had found I was working. - Anne Henry, Journal of the British Association of Psychotherapists
