Great collection of articles by the father of Intense Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy.
Articles are well spread out as to get more and more complex and integrating what was explained in previous chapters to build upon our understanding, while repeating the key concepts of his theories and techniques.

The different cases were fascinating and very well laid out. The theory was well woven between those concrete examples. Despite the "heavy" theoretical framework that needed to be explained, the book was very readable and digestible.

Thanks to Dr. Said for lending the book to me.
