This book integrates object relations theory, ego psychology, and character analytic approaches to provide a new understanding of human behavior and character development. In itself, this integration is a remarkably innovative undertaking, yielding a consistent, understandable and clinically useful view of psychopathology, therapy, and health.[H]ighly recommended as a uniquely sensitive and intelligentinterpretation of the personal dynamics of character structure and thecorrelating contributions of ego psychology to these dynamics.
