Abstract
There are pockets of discontent that will form in some readersâ minds, as they did in mine. For example, the section on treatment clearly outlines how a classic psychoanalysis session is conducted and includes detailed consideration of termination and of combining psychoanalysis with other therapies. However, this section does not deal sufficiently with the specifics of treatment for the variety of conditions to which psychoanalysis is applied, or with the many difficulties that can arise in the conduct of a psychoanalysis.

Despite its shortcomings, this book will prove a classic text for readers interested in psychoanalytic theory and treatment. It is a unique volume, well-conceptualized and clearly written; it will prove thought-provoking and informative for both trainees and
