Summary:

Developments in Object Relations provides a highly accessible account of how British Object Relations developed in the second half of the twentieth century, focusing on the generation who took up where Klein and Winnicott left off. Complementing and building on its predecessor, An Introduction to Object Relations, it gives an overview of the development of OR with special reference to the Independent and Kleinian traditions. This book will be of great help to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who work psychoanalytically, particularly those in the process of training, those who have recently qualified and those who are rethinking their position on the different, strongly held views they encounter. It is particularly timely when psychoanalytic approaches are under attack from treatments claiming to offer quicker and easier solutions. Book jacket.
