About this title

Synopsis:

Psychoanalysis

Review:

'This book can be highly recommended as a clear and concise outline of Lang's work, which will enable more practitioners to examine and evaluate his challenge.'- Phil Mollon, British Journal of Medical Psychology'...It seemed worthwhile to go into this book in some detail, because this wants to be the wave of the future.'- John Rowan, Self and Society'This is written with great clarity. Smith argues for the importance of scientific scrutiny in psychoanalytic work and shows how the communicative approach lends itself to such study. His arguments for the importance of learning to perceive and decode accurately unconscious communications are compelling and constructive...This book presents many controversial and interesting ideas. I recommend it to practicing psychotherapists.'- Anne Nightingale, British Journal of Psychiatry
