Synopsis

Some sixty years after the Controversial Discussions in the early 40s, this passionate book livelily resurrects their spirit at a global scale. Under André Green's generous, tactful yet strong leadership, a small discussion group of noteworthy analysts…met several times over three years in order to deal, by way of the detailed discussion of their clinical experiences, with what to many of those involved was and still is a polemical concept: that of the 'borderline' patient. The end result is likely to constitute a landmark in the already protracted discussion of the 'borderline' as a diagnosis, as well as of its transference and countertransference implications. 'Manuel J. Gálvez'
