This is a superb resource for those struggling to find understanding and relief from the bewilderment, instability and internal choas caused by inadequate early attachment/detachment. It's full of relevant, insightful perceptions, concepts and examples, taken from numerous, respected researchers/writers. It's well written, intelligent and realistic. The final chapters, dealing with individuals coping with the schizoid personality structure, are excellent. The experience of the schizoid often seems beyond description but Klein captures and communicates their reality very well. This is a useful text for anyone interested in the development of a person's 'sense of Self'.
