"This volume offers an invaluable and comprehensive resource to students of psychoanalysis and to scholars from many disciplines interested in integrating psychoanalytic perspectives into their work."--Linda C. Mayes, M.D., Arnold Gesell Professor of Child Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and PsychologyIt stands, in my view, at the highest level of psychoanalytic Dictionaries, and represents, for American psychoanalysis, what in the past LaPlanche and Pontalis did with their Dictionary for French analysis: the presentation of a particular, fundamental contribution to international psychoanalysis and the behavioral sciences. Having studied various psychoanalytic dictionaries in English, German, French and Spanish, the present book in my view, is an original, superb contribution at the highest level.--Otto F. Kernberg, Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University
