Review
Each case study begins by describing the initial contact with the two mothers, before going on to describe the other members of the families. The development of each situation is traced through the years, as is the development of each baby under observation. Finally, the two cases are reviewed together and some general conclusions are drawn.These case studies are at times upsetting, but equally fascinating reading. They provide a thought-provoking insight into the benefits and role of infant observation in psychoanalysis.This classic text is required reading for all students and professionals involved in this important field of research.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.
