"""Ever since his classic book Neurotic Styles, I have followed each new work by David Shapiro with eagerness, and I have never been disappointed. Few writers in our field come close to his ability to capture the nuances of subjectivity and the painful consequences of our efforts to blur that subjectivity in order to gain short-term comfort. In an age of psychotherapy by acronym, he offers us instead an engagement with each patient’s humanity.""-Paul L. Wachtel, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Psychology, City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center."
