Reviews
"""Bresler and Starr have brought together a unique and clinically useful collection of contributions from psychoanalysts who are searching for unifying concepts with which to integrate the multiplicity of existing psychotherapeutic approaches and theories about mechanisms of therapeutic action, each of which has its own valuable emphasis. For far too long, psychoanalysis, like one of the blind men feeling the elephant, has mistaken its part for the whole. If psychoanalysis is to survive, as a treatment method and as an investigative discipline, it must expand its horizons. Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Integration is a much needed step in the right direction."" - Owen Renik, M.D., Former Editor-in-Chief, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly"
