Book Details

Reviews and Endorsements

Ferenczi's Language of Tenderness also illustrates the application of Ferenczian insights in practice, especially in relation to work with people suffering from damage that occurred in their earliest years. Rentoul stresses the reality of emotional trauma for these people and discovers in some of them also a depth of physical need for which a solution is yet to be found. Ferenczi's Language of Tenderness seeks a more human, respectful, and cooperative practice of psychoanalysis and of therapies derived from it. The fullest development of the other person requires a deep and demanding emotional commitment and openness from the therapist.
