Thanatos, shame and other essays : [on the psychology of destructiveness

'This important work has become a classic in Finnish psychoanalytic thinking. It is one of the cornerstones in the training of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in our country. The authors' deep understanding has clarified Freud's final drive-instinct theory together with important additions that are a great help in integrating it with object relations theory.'- Olavi Hamalainen, President, Finnish Psychoanalytical Institute
