An unusual treatise and a masterful book.Doris K. Silverman.One of the world's leading psychoanalytic scholars offers a state-of-the-art guide to the most significant developments of the past quarter of a centurya period marked both by great creativity and great turmoil. Addressing an impressive range of topics, Gedo considers the philosophic and conceptual foundations of psychoanalysis; challenges to therapeutics and metapsychology; advances in infant research and our understanding of the neurobiological bases of the self; and theoretical and practical developments in ego psychology, self psychology, the Kleinian tradition, and French psychoanalysis. He concludes by highlighting the emergence of a new consensus on technique, and a new paradigm of self-organization.A brilliant, outspoken, and uncompromising exegesis of psychoanalysis in its every dimension. . . . Clearly written, lively, irreverent, and idiosyncratic, this is both a major contribution to the field, and a pleasure to read.Edgar A.Levenson
