Elusive Elements in Practice

Editor : Bernardine Bishop, Editor : Josephine Klein, Editor : Angela Foster, Editor : Victoria O'Connell

Reviews and Endorsements

'The therapeutic elements this collection deals with may be elusive, but they are also eminently practical. Stephen Mendoza (following Bion) writes on "faith", Josephine Klein on the importance of true "recognition" for the patient; others write on the consequences of the baby's experience of the mother's beauty. These therapists venture to look into a more affirmative territory, most of it impeccably psychoanalytic but hitherto obscured, perhaps, by Freud's celebrated pessimism. The result is a courageous and original collection of papers, which offer a great deal of "food for thought".'
- David M. Black, British Psycho-Analytical Society
