Editorial Reviews Review "Interpersonal psychoanalysis has had an enormous, although largely unacknowledged, impact on contemporary psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. This Handbook makes the interpersonal literature, indeed the entire interpersonal tradition, accessible in an integrated, systematic way for the first time. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in psychoanalytic ideas." - Stephen Mitchell, Ph.D., Author, Relationality (Analytic Press, 2000) About the Author Marylou Lionells, Ph.D., is Director of the William Alanson White Institute, where she is a Fellow and a Training and Supervising Analyst.
