Editorial Reviews

"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."
