Together they tackle the twinship concept, which has often been misunderstood and about which little has been written. Uniquely, the book expands and elaborates upon Kohut's final definition, \"being human among other human beings.\" It problematizes this apparently simple concept with a wide range of clinical material, demonstrating the complexity of the statement and the intricacies involved in recognizing and working with traumatized patients who have never experienced this feeling. It asks how a sense of \u003ci\u003ebeing\u003c\/i\u003e human, as opposed to being\u003ci\u003e described\u003c\/i\u003e as human, can be generated and how this might help clinicians to better understand and work with trauma. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in self-psychological, intersubjective, and relational theories, \u003ci\u003eTwinship\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcross Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e will also be invaluable to clinicians working in the broader areas of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, social work, psychiatry and education. It will enrich their sensitivity and capacity to understand and treat traumatized patients and the alienation they feel among other human beings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Koichi Togashi,Amanda Kottler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138819166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138819160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Koichi Togashi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48622049362175,"sku":"9781138819160","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kohuts-twinship-across-cultures-koichi-togashi-9781138819160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
