Freud's Case Studies : Self-psychologial Perspectives

"This book is a landmark publication in the ever-continuing reassessment of Freud's great cases. It provides invaluable surveys of recent scholarship and penetrating reanalyses that incorporate modern self-psychological understanding. Freud's Case Studies will be the central work in this area for years to come." - George Atwood "Freud's Case Studies is an important contribution to a profession that very much needs to understand what novelists have always known: that lives are not to be equated with 'drives' or symptoms or defenses - that each of us has particular story to tell, our own unique manner of making do." --Robert Coles
