Written by practicing social workers and social work educators, this is the first book in over twenty years to introduce psychoanalytic theory to social work practitioners. The loss of psychoanalytic theory has left social work without a model to fully understand the impact of trauma and deprivation on the inner world of their clients and to make sense of behaviour which may be disturbing and self-destructive.
