Reviews and Endorsements
`... there is little doubt that this study represents a major contribution to the field.' - Joseph Sandler, Emeritus Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College, London How an individual perceives and relates to others (his or her `objects') is a central preoccupation of psychoanalysis and the literature is full of differing theories. In this definitive guide to the subject, Meir Perlow looks in detail at how the various psychoanalytic schools of thought have conceptualised mental objects. He lays bare the major theoretical and clinical issues that uderlie the concepts and draws out some working definitions which will have practical application for the clinician. Psychoanalysts and psychologists alike will find this a welcome clarification of a complex but central area.
