This book deals with problems related to the analysis and treatment of borderline and psychosomatic patients. It demonstrates how psychoanalytic practice has had to accomodate the range of "borderline syndromes" and produce new models of theory and treatment.

The Edge of Experience, drawn from papers presented at the First European Conference on Psychotherapy held in Athens in 1997, demonstrates hoe psychoanalytic practice has had to accomodate the range of "borderline syndromes"-traumatisation, narcissism, and psychosomatic symptoms among others-and produce new models of theory and treatment.
