Psychoanalysis has, from its inception, been a discipline concerned with overcoming the ill effects of certain social taboos. Patients in psychoanalysis are encouraged to speak about 'whatever comes to mind', without editing, even if they believe their thoughts and feelings to be unacceptable, heinous or scandalous. This book challenges this idea.

At last we have a book that provides a comprehensive overview and assessment of the intersubjective turn in psychoanalysis, showing its logical and clinical limitations and exploring its social and cultural determinants. Bohleber emphasizes the clinical importance of real traumatic experience along with the analysis of the transference.

Discusses whether psychoanalysis - with its mix of clinical experiences and conceptualizations of early development and symptoms - has something unique to offer through deepening the understanding of children suffering from this and similar developmental disturbances.
