Review

"It is such a pleasure to review a book that is excellent throughout and lives up to its promises. Jonathan Cohen and Bertam Cohler's, The Psychoanalytic Study of Lives Over Time, provided that very opportunity. This wonderful contribution to our psychoanalytic literature combines fascinating clinical material, enlightening didactic discussion and well-designed empirical studies in one book."

From the Back Cover

Are the effects of childhood psychoanalysis discernible in adult psychological development? The Psychoanalytic Study of Lives Over Time demonstrates that child psychoanalysis does significantly affect adult development by presenting detailed case reports of both childhood analysis and adult psychotherapy or analysis. Providing a window into childhood and adult lives, the book also addresses the question of how we understand issues of continuity and change within lives over time through the effectiveness of psychoanalysis. Discussion of these cases by prominent clinicians and clinician-researchers offers a contemporary perspective for understanding both clinical psychoanalysis and the study of lives over time.

This review is from: The Psychoanalytic Study of Lives Over Time: Clinical and Research Perspectives on Children Who Return to Treatment in Adulthood (Practical Resources for the Mental Health Professional) (Paperback)

This book explores the world of growing up in a never before seen way. Jonathan Cohen took his longtime study of people and made into a helpful and informational book. I reccomended this book to anyone interested in unconventional and new psychology studies.
