The authors summarize the contributions of the major ego psychologists from Freud to the contemporary theorists, including the new findings of the child observationalists. By integrating these several contributions, the authors are able to show that classical psychoanalysis and ego psychology combine to form a unified theory that provides a more profound understanding of the borderline and narcissistic conditions as well as of the neuroses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom this comprehensive synthesis of theory the authors derive techniques for the treatment of the more troubled patient and expand the classical technique for the psychoanalysis of neurosis. Recognizing that there are preoedipal developmental problems even in neurotic patients and that there are oedipal issues in the borderline and narcissistic patients, the authors demonstrate the applicability of developmental object realtions theory across the diagnostic spectrum and include a new chapter on termination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing numerous case illustrations from their own practice, the Blancks have constructed an extraordinarily comprehensive and readable text that updates psychoanalytic theory for the nineties.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGertrude and Rubin Blanck, Honorary Members of the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society, are the authors of \u003ci\u003eEgo Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEgo Psychology II\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeyondEgo Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMarriage and Personal Development\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by Columbia University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 322\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.01 x 9.2 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 27, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47454387765426,"sku":"9780231082921","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/67206b3e7dec28fe3aa348e0753c35a3.webp?v=1778849839","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/ego-psychology-theory-and-practice-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
