."..it remains for me to commend the book for the ability of most of its authors to provoke thinking about the uses of analysts’ inner experiences as these experiences evolve in the clinical metier. These texts, despite the stylistic and semantic obstacles to which I earlier referred, are intellectually and psychologically
challenging and will reward the reader willing to struggle with the prose." The Journal of Mind and Behavior
