Progress in Self Psychology, V. 10

The tenth volume in the Progress in Self Psychology series begins with four timely assessments of the selfobject concept, followed by a section of clinical papers that span the topics of homosexuality, alter ego countertransference, hypnosis, trauma, dream theory, and intersubjective approaches to conjoint therapy. Section III, "e;A Dialogue of Self Psychology,"e; offers Merton Gill's astute appreciation of "e;Heinz Kohut's Self Psychology,"e; followed by commentaries by Leider and Stolorow and Gill's reply. The concluding section offers Stolorow and Atwood's "e;The Myth of the Isolated Mind,"e; followed by discussions by Gehrie and the Shanes. A forum for the kind of spirited, productive exchanges that have long found a home within the self-psychological community, A Decade of Progress builds on the past in responding to the theoretical and clinical challenges of the present.
