Schizophrenia 

Dr. Rosenfeld presents cases from many years of experience as an analyst working with deeply disturbed or psychotic patients, and demonstrates how his clinical and theoretical formulations can also be applied to less disturbed patients. Distributed by Brunner/Mazel. Annotation copyright Book News, I Editorial Reviews Review 'The Psychotic: Aspects of the Personality commands particular respect because its author maintains an open-minded attitude towards the many still unresolved questions regarding psychosis. He concentrates his efforts on clinical aspects of psychotic patients that are approachable by the psychoanalytic method; on illuminating continuities of different types of psychopathology where one would not a priori have suspected them; on illustrating the functions of primitive defense operations in the transference and countertransference; and on conveying a live and in-depth narrative of the technical approach. For all these reasons, his book should be most helpful to the clinician, challenging and stimulating to the psychoanalytic researcher and theoretician, and a significant contribution to a very contemporary aspect of psychoanalytic exploration.'- Dr Otto Kernberg, in his Foreword About the Author David Rosenfeld is a Training Analyst, Professor of Mental Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires. His previous publications include The Psychotic Aspects of the Personality (Karnac).
