Theory of Psychoanalytical Practice: A Relational Process Approach (The International Psychoanalytical Association Psychoanalytic Ideas and Applications Series)

This book makes an original contribution to the study of the psychoanalytic process from a relational point of view, and at the same time serves as a textbook on the theory of technique.
