Editorial Reviews
Review
This book gives individual psychotherapists a way of using dynamic listening and interpreting when working with couples and families, and it offers family therapists the powerful tools of psychoanalysis to deepen their understanding and skills. — Samuel Slipp, M.D.
In Object Relations Family Therapy, David and Jill Scharff offer the most in-depth and thoughtful exploration of the relevance of modern psychoanalytic theory to family therapy to be found to date. . . . Recently the field is showing a reawakened interest in the psychodynamics of family relationships, and the Scharffs” book heralds this remarriage of concern with the inner and outer lives of people. I believe that he publication of this book is a significant event; it will become a modern classic. — Alan A. Gurman Ph.D.
