‘Horowitz addresses and solves a remarkable number of the enduring dilemmas associated with the emergence of identity. This book is an extraordinary achievement of integrative thought across numerous bodies of knowledge which delivers a perspective on identity that is going to be invaluable to all practicing clinicians.’ - Peter Fonagy, PhD, FBA, Professor and Head of the Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London 'In his latest work, Mardi Horowitz once again challenges us to examine familiar problems through new lenses. He suggests that self and identity provide an important perspective on psychological development and adaptation. Building on Erik Erikson’s pioneering work on the concept of Identity, Horowitz enriches our understanding of personality, psychopathology and psychotherapy. Anyone who has thought about these issues in the past will think of them in exciting new ways.' - Robert Michels, M.D., Walsh McDermott University Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry, Cornell University‘Horowitz's excellent book is a much needed, worthy successor to Erikson's ground breaking monograph, Identity and the Life Cycle, which launched the Psychological Issues book series over a half century ago. Horowitz offers an extremely impressive biopsychosocial integration of theory and research on identity over the past half century. This outstanding book makes a major contribution to our theoretical and clinical understanding of a central aspect of personality.’ - David Wolitzky, Professor of Psychology, New York University, USA, and Editor, Psychological Issues.‘What the book offers is a variant way to view the overall human condition and its vicissitudes, using identity and its formation and deformations as the central looking glass, and this hopefully will prepare you to measure for yourself, the new value you find with this novel perspective on human mental and emotional health and illness. It provides such a fresh perspective for me. I trust that it does for you.’ - Robert S. Wallerstein, from the foreword
