Each paper is introduced with a brief summary of its contribution to the development of our understanding of object loss. This valuable resource thus provides the serious student of object loss with a ready source of the most important materials on the subject.

From the Back Cover

In this book, I have collected what I consider to be the most significant contributions to psychoanalytic and psychological understanding of the effect of object loss on adults and children. My choices are focused on those contributions most directly relevant to the clinical situation. The contributions that I consider equally important but that could not be reprinted here are listed as highly recommended readings at the end of this collection of essays. From Introduction by Rita V. Frankiel.
