Psychotherapy of the Disorders of the Self / Edition 1

by James F. Masterson, M.D., Ralph Klein, M.D.

Overview

The Masterson Approach has evolved from 32 years of scientific inquiry, including four formal research projects, nine books, and 75 papers. this volume marks an important stage in a professional journey that has had many turnings. Clinical concern and theoretical introspection evoke a wish to share, which led to writing and teaching. The deepening of this need to build a continuing community of ideas has impelled Masterson to invite those who have learned from him to join me. This book represents their commitment and contribution to the Masterson Approach.
