Hope and Dread in Pychoanalysis

A probing look at todays revolutions in psychoanalytic thought and practice, by one of the most original and incisive writers on the psychoanalytic scene today.. The love affair that psychoanalysis has had with its own founder has obscured just how different the field is today from what it was a century ago, when Freud was writing. Now Stephen A. Mitchell, a central figure in the modernization of psychoanlalysis, shows how the field is moving beyond the confines of Freudian drive theory to encompass the concerns of contemporary life.
