Books by Steven J. Ellman

Intends to deconstruct the different theoretical perspectives of psychoanalysis, and reconstruct these concepts in a language that is easily understood. This book examines Freud's different theories and describes how Freud shifted his emphasis over time.

Incorporates Freud's papers on psychoanalytic method alongside commentary on the perspectives of the material. The papers address the role of transference, dream interpretation, clinical issues, and termination of treatment. It also looks at how Freud's ideas have been integrated into practice.
