Papers on Psychoanalysis

This volume brings together many of the important writings of Hans Loewald, one of the major theoreticians of psychoanalysis today. Among other subjects, Dr. Loewald discusses the nature of the internalization processes and structure building, the nature and role of reality, pre-oedipal modes of perceiving and the permanence of a 'psychotic core' in every personality, the relationship of psychoanalysis to culture, mastery and defense, and the nature of time.
