The book of the eminent American psychoanalyst Dr. Hyman Spotnitz lays out his theory of modern psychoanalysis, which opened up new perspectives in the treatment of pre-oedipal disorders. For many years, the specialists trained and supervised by Dr. Spotnitz assimilated the techniques he developed, making previously untreatable diseases such as schizophrenia available for special analytical techniques. This edition of the book contains a description of these techniques that allow you to effectively work in line with modern psychoanalysis.
