Object Relations and the Developing Ego in Therapy
About this book
'Perhaps the acid test for any book on psychoanalytic theory is the light it sheds on the complex problems that a therapist faces. This book passes that test with flying colors. I now see my patients in a different light and I have changed my approach with beneficial results.' -Samuel L. Bradshaw, Jr. The Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic A Jason Aronson Book
