Richard Sembera tackles the rarely discussed question of how psychoanalysis can be explained from a theoretical vantage point. In this work, he replaces Freud's meta-psychology based upon energic concepts and drive theory, with a model of explanation arising from information processing theory and developmental processes. Using cogent reasoning and clear, understandable language, Sembera offers psychoanalysts a new theoretical approach to their work, which will hopefully lead to questions about how to conceptualize psychoanalysis in the future. This is an excellent book for psychoanalysts, be they scholars or clinicians. -Steven Rosenbloom, Training and Supervising Analyst, Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis and Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology & Psychiatry, McGill University
