Empathic Attunement: The ‘Technique’ of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology

An examination of the work of Heinz Kohut, but includes some of the clinical experiences of the authors themselves. The book is suitable for beginners, but contains ample reference to the traditional psychoanalytic matrix from which self psychology arose to make it useful to experienced clinicians, especially teachers. By consistently linking methods of observation with findings, this book is a useful aid to the teaching and learning of the application of self psychology to the treatment process.
