Publisher Synopsis
`Frances Tustin's capacity to communicate is marvellously lucid. She is always in touch with a reader who is imagined to be curious and critical, but open to persuasion if given the necessary evidence, and here the evidence is beautifully presented.' - Juliet Hopkins, Principal Child Psychotherapist, Tavistock Clinic`In this book the reader has the rare opportunity to spend time with one of the most clinically sensitive and theoretically astute analytic therapists of our time.

Ogden, San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute Read more...
