The Metaphor of a Play: Origin And Breakdown Of Personal Being by Russell Meares

by Russell Meares

"Personality disorder can be conceived as the result of a disruption of the development of self. This thoroughly updated edition of The Metaphor of Play examines how those who have suffered such disruption can be treated by understanding their sense of self and the fragility of their sense of existence." This highly readable and lucid presentation of the role of play in the development of self will be of interest not only to therapists but also to those interested in the larger issues of mind and consciousness.

Meares is wonderful. This book is thoughtful and wise, well-researched and well-written. Both theoretically useful and clinically meaningful, it is highly recommended
