Embedded Self A Psychoanalytic Guide to Family Therapy

In this illuminating introduction to family treatment tailored to the sensibilities of psychoanalytically oriented clinicians, Gerson invites the reader to appreciate how concepts for understanding the individual psyche are necessarily transformed when applied to the redundant communication patterns of family systems. The result is a striking reappraisal of the nature and possibilities of psychodynamic intervention in which analysis and family therapy stand as figure and ground to one another, each shedding new light on the fundamental principles of the other.Gerson, Mary-Joan is the author of 'Embedded Self A Psychoanalytic Guide to Family Therapy' with ISBN 9780881631586 and ISBN 0881631582.
