This research has been chiefly concerned with what are called
primitive 'object relationships'; only in this phrase 'object' does
not refer to objects in the everyday sense but to people, and in
the same way object relationship means relationship with people not
with objects.
Michael Balint addresses himself to a variety of subjects of
interest to both the layman and the practicing clinical
psychologist or psychiatrist: among others, sex and society,
masturbation, discipline, menstruation, punishment, aging, and
parapsychology.
One of the eternal problems of mankind is that of love and hate.
Why and how does it happen that we love this one of our fellow-men,
feel safe in his affection, expect satisfactions of our needs from
him and are attracted to him, while we hate and avoid other? Ever
since the publication of Freud's first works one of the main
objects of psycho-analytic research has been the study of these
powerful currents of the human mind. The author contributed several
important papers on this subject, and Primary Love and
Psychoanalytic Technique is a collection of his material from 1930
to 1952. The first half of this volume is a collection of all his
papers on this topic. The first, "Psycho-Sexual Parallels to the
Fundamental Law of Biogenetics", is an attempt to trace the
development of the erotic instincts from their earliest biological
beginnings in unicellular organisms to their highest manifestations
in human beings. Other papers deal with the problems of "Genital
Love". "Transference of Emotions", of "Love and Hate" and so on.
In this volume, Michael Balint, who over the years made a sustained
and brilliant contribution to the theory and technique of
psychoanalysis, develops the concept of the 'basic fault' in the
bio-psychology structure of every individual, involving in varying
degree both mind and body. Balint traces the origins of the basic
fault to the early formative period, during which serious
discrepancies arise between the needs of the individual and the
care and nurture available. These Discrepancies create a kind of
deficiency state. On the basis of this concept, Balint assumes the
existence of a specific area of the mind in shich all the processes
have an exclusively two-person structure consisting of the
individual and the individual's primary object. Its dynamic force,
originating from the basic fault has the overwhelming aim of
'putting things right'. This area is contrasted with two others:
the area of the Oedipus complex, which has essentially a triangular
structure comprising the individual and two of his objects, and
whose characteristic dynamism has the form of a conflict; and the
area of creation, in which there are no objects in the proper
sense, and whose characteristic force is the urge to create, to
produce

with the problems of Genital Love. Transference of Emotions, of
Love and Hate and so on. Dr. Blaint shows that the complexities of
human love and hate can be better understood if they are considered
as derivatives of a very primitive relation such as exists between
mother and child, or between two lovers, and which he describes as
primitive love. human relation can be studied is the
psycho-analytical situation, the relation between the patient and
his analyst. This relation is the central problem of
psycho-analytic technique and Dr. Balint's ideas make many old
problems appear in a new light, but also give rise to many
intriguing new ones. It is well known that theories about the true
nature of the infantile mind, about the development of a child's
sentiments towards his early love objects, and the theories of
psycho-analytic technique are closely inter-related. The second
half of this volume contains Dr. Balint's contributions to this
topic; they include, among others, papers on Character Analysis,
Strength of the Ego, Transference and Counter-transference, and
Termination of Analysis.
In the half-century since his death, the Hungarian analyst
Sandor Ferenczi has amassed an influential following within the
psychoanalytic community. During his lifetime Ferenczi, a respected
associate and intimate of Freud, unleashed widely disputed ideas
that influenced greatly the evolution of modern psychoanalytic
technique and practice. In a sequence of short, condensed entries,
Sandor Ferenczi's Diary records self-critical reflections on
conventional theory--as well as criticisms of Ferenczi's own
experiments with technique--and his obstinate struggle to divest
himself and psychoanalysis of professional hypocrisy. From these
pages emerges a hitherto unheard voice, speaking to his heirs with
startling candor and forceful originality--a voice that still
resonates in the continuing debates over the nature of the
relationship in psychoanalytic practice.

When it was first published in 1968, Michael Balint's The Basic
Fault laid the groundwork for a far-ranging reformation in
psychoanalytic theory. This reformation is still incomplete, for it
remains true today that despite the proliferation of techniques and
schools, we do not know which are more correct or more
successful--and all psychoanalysts continue to encounter
intractable cases of mental disorder. Balint argues that ordinary
"rigid" techniques and theories are doomed to failure in such cases
because of their emphasis on interpretation. The Basic Fault
continues to illuminate the crucial current issues in
psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in general: the nature of self,
the role of developmental defects, the value of empathy, and the
central importance of the relationship between therapist and
patient. This paperback edition includes a foreword by Paul H.
Ornstein discussing the impact of Balint's work at the time of its
publication and its continued importance now.
An exiled war resister himself, Roger Neville Williams tells how
and why this country has lost so many of its most talented,
intelligent, and aware young men and women to Canada. And thirteen
of these draft dodgers and deserters report their own highly
individual experiences in a series of sometimes startling, often
frightening, always candid interviews. Lindy Blake of the Presidio
27 relates in horrifying details his life in the military
stockades. Jerry Samuels, a Vietnam veteran, describes with brutal
honesty how he and his friends shot Vietnamese girls after raping
them and why he then deserted from combat. Jesse Winchester, the
folk-rock singer, recalls his decision to resist the draft. They,
and the others interviewed, discuss how they made the agonizing
decision to go, their new lives in exile, and the Canadian reaction
to them, in this comprehensive account of an unprecedented
phenomenon of mass self-exile.
