Review

Chessick, author of numerous books and articles on psychoanalysis, here offers a dictionary of psychoanalytic terms. The book originates from the author's many years of clinical practice and is intended for readers with a previous basic knowledge of psychotherapy. The approximately 220 entries range in length from 50 to 1,500 words, each concluding with a list of further readings. Written in clincal rather than theoretical style, entries cover a wide variety of topics, "Objects Relations Theory" to "Corruption." Chessick's work will be useful for graduate students and practicing clinicians. * CHOICE *
