This authoritative new standard presents Freud as no other work
ever has. Combining a comprehensive account of Freudian theory with
a synthesis of contemporary psychoanalysis, this volume includes
the contributions of Margaret Mahler and Erik Erikson, as well as
those of Kohut, Kernberg, Hartmann, Fairbairn, and Winnicott.
Reknowned psychiatrist W. W. Meissner details the development of
analytic theory, which has undergone a continual remodeling during
the hundred years since the birth of psychoanalysis. Dr. Meissner
traces this evolution from the earliest stages of Freud's
psychoanalytic thinking to such recent developments as object
relations theory and self-psychology. A chapter on psychoanalytic
therapy rounds out this unique and essential volume.
This is the only contemporary work on Freud and the field he
fathered by a psychoanalytic psychiatrist, and as such will appeal
to everyone interested in Freud and psychology -- practitioners,
therapists, psychiatrists, graduate students, medical professors
and students, undergraduate professors and students, as well as the
general public.
