Reviews

""By compiling and editing this superb volume, David Scharff has made an important contribution to our field. Each of the original and informative essays in the book enhances our understanding and appreciation of the various uses of the object, a topic of great importance and one that has been much neglected in the literature. This landmark work not only corrects that defficiency, but provides a valuable educational experience for students and practitioners alike. This is a book that belongs in the library of every analytic therapist."" --Theodore Jacobs, MD, member of the New York Psychoanalytic Association, Author, The Use of the Self and The Possible Profession"" ""This highly original book hugely extends the study of the variety of ways in which we may use our objects, and for that matter, misuse them or be misused by them. Disturbing interactions between internal and powerful external objects are examined, and careful distinctions between oedipal and pre-oedipal matters always carefully observed. There is deep and moving analytic work and thinking being carried out here. Prepare to be edified and surprised!"" --Anne Alvarez, Ph D, MACP. Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist.
