Containing Rage, Terror and Despair: An Object Relations Approach to Psychotherapy

Once again Dr. Jeffrey Seinfeld has written an illuminating and lucid book that applies the theories of the British School of Object Relations to treatment of patients with severe psychopathology. He is masterful in his ability to capture the turbulent inner world of patients and to illustrate the ways in which therapists provide containment in the treatment process. Anyone committed to the intensive psychotherapeutic process will find this book's penetrating case examples compelling and instructive.
