This book provides easy-to-read, concise, and clinically useful
explanations of over 1000 terms and concepts from the field of
psychoanalysis. The history of each term is included as is the name
of its originator. An attempt is made to demonstrate how the
meanings of the term under consideration might have changed, with
new connotations accruing with the passage of time and with growth
of knowledge. Where possible, the glossary includes diverse
perspectives on a given idea and highlights how different analysts
have used the same term for different purposes and with different
theoretical aims in mind.Ranging from abreaction and abstinence,
metapsychology and malignant narcissism to xenophobia and
zoophilia, the terms and ideas covered in the book make for a
panoramic view of the psychoanalytic universe. The collection is
wide-ranging, eclectic, and fundamentally generous: it includes the
old, new, controversial, odd-sounding, familiar, unfamiliar all
sorts of terms and phrases from the one hundred years history of
psychoanalysis. While generally crisp and pithy, a definition here
and there also includes an endearing anecdote, a wry remark
regarding the hidden ironies in the concept at hand, and a
deliciously surprising linkage with another idea in the book."
