Reviews
It's a great book!!! -Lew Aron and Bob Pyles This book needs to be read by psychoanalysts at every level of development, from candidates to institute administrators. Eisold brilliantly makes the case for the powerful presence of so many institutional and social formations in our every theoretical and clinical move. Psychoanalytic theory and practice is saturated with social process, institutional practices and ideologies. Much of the material in these chapters is painful and challenging to encounter. But Ken Eisold writes in a welcome and deft manner and the lessons he wants to teach us and that we must learn, arrive in a deeply accessible form. -Adrienne Harris, New York University, Editor of The Relational Perspectives Book Series. This book contains many brilliant insights into the origins and nature of the ills besetting contemporary psychoanalytic institutions. Ken Eisold has a unique and profound understanding of individual and collective psychology and of organisations. His work also offers helpful lessons from the past and the present which should not be ignored. -Douglas Kirsner, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Deakin University; Honorary Member, American Psychoanalytic Association. Author Unfree Associations: Inside Psychoanalytic Institutes. Kenneth Eisold has long been one of the most astute and insightful observers of the institutional problems of psychoanalysis. He is one of the few psychoanalysts who easily bridges the gap between a profound psychoanalytic knowledge of individuals, and that of groups. Eisold clearly illustrates our similar struggle to free ourselves from the confines of our founders, and to bring psychoanalysis into the modern age. -Robert Pyles, former head of APsaA.
