Psychoanalytic Trends in Theory and Practice serves as a guide for the novice, and a refresher for the expert, into the history and current status of major psychoanalytic concepts. Each chapter author, reviews the development of a concept over the history of psychoanalysis, includes clinical examples to illustrate the concept, and identifies current questions about the topic. Further, many chapters embody a developmental perspective, not just in terms of an idea or concept, but also in terms of the individual; these sections explore how the experiences of the child inform that of the adult. M. Hossein Etezady, Inga Blom, and Mary Davis honor core concepts that continue to inform contemporary psychoanalytic practice, demonstrate the ongoing relevance and utility of the psychoanalytic perspective, and provide a solid and integrative foundation for further exploration into the next generation of theory and clinical work.

This volume of 13 essays by practitioners and theorists of psychoanalysis covers immense ground, and the editors deserve praise for including a broad range of topics relevant to the current psychoanalytic enterprise. The topics treated in this book are sure to excite both novices and experts: for example, narcissism, gender fluidity, emotional disturbance in childhood, depression, dissociative disorders, attachment and intersubjectivity, psychosomatics, and neuroscience. Each chapter author reviews a particular psychoanalytic concept's historical development, provides illustrative clinical examples, and reflects upon the topic's contemporary relevance. Many essays take a developmental perspective in terms of the individual's growth and maturation, and in this approach, a debt to the theorist Margaret Mahler can be discerned. The essays collected here tie theory to practice in eminently accessible language, providing a solid platform for current practitioners who wish to expand and deepen their knowledge of a field whose often postulated moribund nature is here belied. Well suited for both practitioners and students of psychoanalysis and psychology.Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
