This comprehensive and tightly argued book deals with the process
through which a coherent self evolves, the various ways such
development fails to occur, and the therapeutic measures to put
things back together. Beginning with the child's early
relationships and their internalization as the substrate of the
self, the text moves on to psychodynamically sophisticated and
developmentally anchored descriptions of certain psychopathological
syndromes that are widespread and yet inoptimally discussed. Going
from the most severe to the least severe conditions in this realm,
the book deals with the psychotic core, the schizoid wish to die
and be reborn, the fantasies related to unresolved
separation-individuation, the sociopathic tendency to lie, and the
impact of excessive narcissism on love relations. The book also
provides a unique perspective on the treatment of these conditions
in so far as it not only elucidates the ways that a therapist
listens and talks to his patients but also the subtle but deep
impact of his ongoing attitude toward psychotherapeutic work. Even
the role the therapist's office silently plays in the conduct of
his work is discussed in detail. The book is theoretically sound
and contemporary. More importantly, it is clinically generous and
provides a number of vignettes to illustrate the ideas proposed.
The writing style is a refreshing admixture of scientific
scrupulosity, literary elegance, and humane relatedness.
