Authenticity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter: The Work of Irma Brenman Pick

Authenticity in The Psychoanalytic Encounter brings together Irma Brenman Pick's original contributions to psychoanalytic technique. Working within the Kleinian tradition, she produces vivid clinical narratives that succeed in shedding a humane light on the struggles that patients - and, indeed, all of us - face in recognizing, in an authentic way, our need for, and the contribution of, others in our lives.
