Current Theories of Psychoanalysis

by Robert Langs (Editor)

As reflected in the 12 chapters of this book, the achievements of psychoanalysis during the first hundred years have been extraordinary. Each chapter is written by psychoanalysts strongly committed to a particular version of psychoanalysis theory and practice. As Robert Langs points out in his Foreword, the varying schools of psychoanalysis have. to a considerable extent, become relatively insular.' This book solves this problem by acting as a dynamic showcase for the enormous diversity, of explorations and thinking that characterize psychoanalysis today, a field to which some of the most brilliant and innovative thinkers of the late twentieth century have been drawn.
