Internal Landscapes and Foreign Bodies Summary

Internal Landscapes and Foreign Bodies: Eating Disorders and Other Pathologies by Gianna Williams

Klein's model of projective and introjective processes and Bion's theory of the relationship between container and contained have become increasingly significant in much clinical work. in a highly imaginative development of these models of thought, the distinguished clinician gianna williams, one of the leading figures in the field, elucidates the psychodynamics of these processes in the context of impairment of dependent relationships and of eating disorders in both men and women. This is a timely and brilliant account of an area of psychopathology that is rapidly growing in significance.

Internal Landscapes and Foreign Bodies Reviews

'I can recommend this book wholeheartedly. It will be of use to experienced practitioners in reflecting on their own work and as a source for training in psychodynamic concepts and psychotherapy.'- Adrian Sutton, Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry'Williams certainly succeeds in making a major contribution to the sparse psychoanalytic literature on eating disorders, and in putting forward a means by which professionals from various analytic backgrounds might sustain work with the most disturbed young people.'- Rose Gallagher, The European Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling & Health
