Fonagy, P. & Target, M., — Psychoanalytic theories. Perspectives from developmental psychopathology.

Psychoanalytic theory influenced many facets of twentieth century culture, and shows every sign of continuing to have an impact in the new century. However, in order to sustain this influence it has to adapt to the challenges of our current intellectual environment. This book attempts to build a bridge between psychoanalysis and a dominant perspective in modern psychiatry and psychology: developmental psychopathology. This perspective studies biological, psychological and social influences that act on individuals, shaping their pathways through life. l Brunner-Routledge. New York 2003. Pb. 402 pp. Index.
