Summary

This unique book makes object relations and self psychology accessible to readers not familiar with recent psychoanalytical literature. The theories presented illuminate areas of childhood experiences such as ''relational'' problems and narcissistic and borderline personality disorders. Readers will find clinical insights about object relations and self psychology. The issues, ideas, and controversies of these models of the person are clearly presented and readable.
