More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Dr. Guntrip concerns himself specifically with the self and its interpersonal and object relations. Through the work of Freud, Sullivan, Erikson, Horney, and other theorists, he thoroughly explores the origin, and development of the psychoanalytic theory and its relevance and application to modern therapeutic methods. As a result of his extensive work with schizoid patients who are detached, withdrawn, and unable to form real human relations, Dr. Guntrip has come to regard the self as the fundamental psychological concept and psychoanalysis as the study of its growth. According to Dr. Guntrip modern psychoanalytic therapy provides a kind of personal relationship in which the alienated, stunted self is given the potential for a healthy growth and development which put it in touch with other persons and objects. The author firmly believes that the analyst, through careful insight, recognition, and a mental awareness of the emergence of the inner core of isolation, can enable the patient to find his own reality as a person.

Classic introduction to object relations psychoanalysis
13 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a classic introduction to the movement known as object relations theory in psychoanalysis, as it developed in Britian after the second world war. With the growing interest in the works of Ronald Fairbairn, Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, and others, this book stands not only as an excellent introduction by someone who knew the people involved - and was analysed by both Fairbairn and Winnicott. It is also a creative, and at times critical, synthesis that shows the power and compassion of Guntrip's mind, and why he too is recognised as one of the great analysts to have come out of Britain.
