Innovations in Psychoanalysis

Reviews / Votes

"An extraordinary feat: To encompass the dynamic, creatively unsettling and pluralist tensions between the schools of psychoanalysis and depth psychology, and also within each of the main schools in one volume. The Editors have briefed their authors perfectly, and the authors have risen to the occasion. It is a mine of information, both reliable and challenging. Could stimulate an international road show of conferences based on the book. The field needed this, and it will hugely benefit the widest possible range of practitioners, those in training, and those engaged with the area." - Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex, UK; Former Chair, UK Counsel for Psychotherapy

"This timely book will surprise people outside of psychoanalysis who think that nothing much has changed in it since the pioneering work of Freud, and it will broaden the perspectives of those within the field who have kept abreast of just one or another 'school'. Psychoanalysis still remains the richest and most rewarding firmament of ideas about the lived life of the mind." - Mark Solms, Research Chair, IPA; Science Director, APsaA

"Innovations in Psychoanalysis is an outstanding, singularly unique contribution to the psychoanalytic literature. Astute, scholarly, fresh, Govrin and Mills have brought together a most impressive and eclectic group of psychoanalytic voices. Here, in one volume, are the most important developments in psychoanalysis today." - Galit Atlas, PhD, NYU Postdoctoral Program for Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis; author of The Enigma of Desire 'An extraordinary feat: To encompass the dynamic, creatively unsettling and pluralist tensions between the schools of psychoanalysis and depth psychology, and also within each of the main schools in one volume.
