When Theories Touch: A Historical and

When Theories Touchreviews the thought and work of the great theorists of psychoanalysis. Dr Ellman has a remarkable ability to dwell within the psychic reality of each of the great theorists he discusses, and to make it feel as if each one were explaining his or her theory in person. This allows the reader to know them in a deeper way and to experience them in their historical context. As an added bonus, there are chapters on contemporary theory and Ellman's own view of where we are going. This book is an amazing tour de forcethat anyone who learns, teaches or uses psychoanalytic theory will need to own.
