Seems like it would be pretty useful to a practicing therapist. Unfairly critical of Kleinian theory (e.g., comparing it unfavorably to E. Jacobson's theory because she talks about "object representations" not "objects"). I'd need a lot of convincing to be persuaded that the "normalizing" therapy which ego psychologists favor is the only way to help people grow and achieve insight. Is the ego strong enough already?

Seminar XI blew my mind. it was the first Lacan I read, coming back to it after failing to understand any of Ecrits ten years ago. This book by Bruce Fink is just as 'deep', but more comprehensible than any of Lacan's published work-- for an anal university-discourse subject (me lol).

i think i would like Jeanette Winterson in real life. unimportant. i notice a couple big allusions to Wilfred Bion's psychoanalytic theory in this book. perhaps more important.
