Beyond Transference Reviews

An interesting and unusual book that attempts to throw light on a difficult aspect of psychotherapeutic work and which would be of interest to the practicing medical and non-medical psychotherapist as well as to the interested general psychiatrist.

* Journal of Psychosomatic Research *

Beyond Transference raises many difficult and important issues. It is a practical and useful book for therapists, including psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, and others. . . . I recommend this book and hope that it will stimulate further thought and research toward building a scientific base for our clinical hunches.
