Until recently, psychoanalysis has failed--on either a theoretical or clinical level--to keep pace with the significant changes in the type of patient seeking psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy. Thus, this book provides new ideas--on both a theoretical and clinical level--to fill the void left by the therapeutic collapse en route to contemporary psychotherapy. --- from the publisher Contents: 1.

10. Conclusion Reviews: "There is not a single good book on a self psychological theory of addiction, and these are definitely the authors to do it. They have distinguished themselves over the years as the major self psychological writers on addiction. Their approach is clear and quite simple and could appeal to a wide audience.." –Susan H.
