This clear and evocative book is most striking for its potential to inform and enhance the clinical work of professionals of any theoretical orientation as well as students of individual or family psychotherapy and also for its value to individuals wanting to think more about themselves within their families. --Jeanne Magagna, Consultant Psychotherapist This is a very valuable book. It integrates psychoanalytic concepts into systemic family therapy. The two approaches are complementary, one focusing on the internal world and the other on what goes on between people. Family therapy emerged in the United States in the 1950s, moving away from psychoanalysis and opening up a new systemic approach. This book brings the two techniques together in a creative and understandable way. There are clear descriptions of how this approach is used in a wide range of clinical problems. Family therapy can be enriched. --Dr John Byng-Hall, Consultant Child & Family Psychiatrist and Family Therapist
