Reviews and Endorsements
The work of Michael Balint, a leading object-relations theorist, has been neglected since his death in 1970. A charismatic teacher in both pure and applied analysis, his work with general practitioners has become widely known. This book re-establishes his major contributions to psychoanalysis related to: * the interdependence of mother and infant * the secondary nature of narcissism * the use of transference and countertransference * the analyst's technique.
