1st Edition

The Evolution of Self Psychology Progress in Self Psychology

Edited By Arnold I. Goldberg Copyright 1991

    A special section of papers on the evolution, current status, and future development of self psychology highlights The Evolution of Self Psychology, volume 7 of the Progress in Self Psychology series.  A critical review of recent books by Basch, Goldberg, and Stolorow et al. is part of this endeavor.  Theoretical contributions to Volume 7 examine self psychology in relation to object relations theory and reconsider the relationship of psychotherapy to psychoanalysis. Clinical contributions deal with an intersubjective perspective on countertransference, the trauma of incest, and envy in the transference.
