Hats off to Drs. Glick and Meyers for having honed this volume on contemporary views of masochism into an eminently readable and incisive presentation. Thanks to their skill as editors and teachers, the reader comes away with a much clearer picture of the current state of our understanding of masochism and a coherent, multifaceted theoretical framework within which to make crucial diagnostic distinctions concerning object relations and level of ego and superego development. - Paula P. Bernstein, International Journal of Psychoanalysis We can welcome Masochism as a valuable addition to our libraries, whether or not we are pure psychoanalysts or practitioners of a more eclectic persuasion. Glick and Meyers have presented a well-written, easily understood first chapter, which directs the reader's attention to twelve intriguing and varied discussions of this complex, contradictory, but nearly ubiquitous existential human phenomenon. Readers of this book cannot help but add something to their knowledge of the psychoanalytic theory of masochism. Most of us will learn a great deal. - Robert D. Strochak, American Journal of Psychotherapy
