Reviews

‘The author’s profound sophisticated knowledge of contemporary psychoanalytic …. and his enormous experience with child and parental conflicts, with a simple and clear, common sense, non-categorical style of parental consultation, without any psychoanalytic terminology or prescriptive affirmations. This approach differs from the usual “how to improve things” texts by appreciating parental willingness to insight in procedures that clearly lead to proven failure, stimulating parental curiosity why things don’t work out, and, in the process, motivating them to reach for new understanding.’ Otto F. Kernberg, M.D., Professor Emeritus, Weill Cornell Medical College; Training and Supervising Analyst, Columbia University Psychoanalytic Center for Training and Research
