The contributions in this latest title in the Tavistock Clinic
Series are sufficiently diverse for each to stimulate reflections
and responses from the reader in the particular area upon which the
author has chosen to focus, whilst at the same time the authors
share enough common ground. The contributors all base their
theories on a contemporary Kleinian/object-relations psychoanalytic
viewpoint and this helps the reader feel that there is a basic
underlying unity to facilitate meaningful links between the ideas
and themes in different chapters.The chapters have been organised
into three sections. Whilst united in their focus on the Oedipus
situation, the individual styles and "voices" of the authors are
very varied. The first three chapters are primarily theoretical.
The second section comprises chapters that make use of artistic and
cultural themes from the worlds of literature and film to explore
Oedipal couple issues. The final section consists of chapters that
are specifically clinical in their focus. The manifest focus in
most chapters is on the couple, but there are variations on this
theme. Contributors: Andrew Balfour, Sasha Brookes, Francis Grier,
Monica Lanman, Lisa Miller, Mary Morgan, Viveka Nyberg, Joanna
Rosenthal, Stanley Ruszczynski, Margot Waddell
