"This much-deserved tribute to Sabe Basescu is, in its own right, a valuable addition to the literature. His lucid and erudite articles attest to Basescu's status as a pre-eminent (existential/humanistic) theoretician and consummate clinician. But above all, what permeates both his papers - as well as the introductions of the very caring and incisive commentators - is the clear sense of Basescu's being-in-the-world, the warmth, authenticity and integrity that has captured the admiration and love of his colleagues, students, and analysands." - Edgar A. Levenson, M.D., Training and Supervisory Analyst, William Alanson White Institute"This landmark volume is a gift to therapist's everywhere. The combination of Sabert Basescu's highly original and profoundly important essays and the illuminating commentaries of the discussants has created a book that is a treasure of clinical wisdom. By bringing Basescu's contributions to a wider audience, the editors have done an invaluable service for our field." - Theodore Jacobs, M.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
