Self Psychology cover

This collection of "comparisons and contrasts" explores Heinz Kohut's self psychology in relation to a wide-ranging group of modern thinkers, both inside and outside of analysis. Separate sections analyze self psychology alongside Freud and the first generation of psychoanalytic dissidents; British object relations theorists; and contemporary theorists like Kernberg, Mahler, Lacan, and Masterson.

"Rarely have I enjoyed reading a book more than this intellectually challenging and useful volume. The Detricks have provided a great service to those clinicians familiar with self psychology who wish to understand how it can be expanded by, and effectively integrated into, the work done by many seminal thinkers in psychoanalysis and philosophy."
