The authors summarize the contributions of the major ego psychologists from Freud to the contemporary theorists, including the new findings of the child observationalists. By integrating these several contributions, the authors are able to show that classical psychoanalysis and ego psychology combine to form a unified theory that provides a more profound understanding of the borderline and narcissistic conditions as well as of the neuroses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom this comprehensive synthesis of theory the authors derive techniques for the treatment of the more troubled patient and expand the classical technique for the psychoanalysis of neurosis. Recognizing that there are preoedipal developmental problems even in neurotic patients and that there are oedipal issues in the borderline and narcissistic patients, the authors demonstrate the applicability of developmental object realtions theory across the diagnostic spectrum and include a new chapter on termination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing numerous case illustrations from their own practice, the Blancks have constructed an extraordinarily comprehensive and readable text that updates psychoanalytic theory for the nineties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gertrude Blanck, Rubin Blanck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231082924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231082921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.01d","brand":"Gertrude Blanck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981514932479,"sku":"9780231082921","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f1d663b-022c-480e-93fc-69627f4d3b34.jpg?v=1683256035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ego-psychology-gertrude-blanck-9780231082921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
