Object Relations

by Samuel Slipp

This volume integrates psychoanalysis and family therapy. It demonstrates the significance of early childhood development as well as the effect of ongoing family interactions on the genesis and maintenance of developmental arrest and psychopathology. The author has drawn on the richness of psychoanalysis and presents four specific patterns of family interaction that should be of use to all therapists.
