Overview

Beginning with a discussion of the problem of autonomy in dynamic psychiatry and a review of its development from infancy to adolescence, the author of Neurotic Styles explores, with numerous clinical examples, the distortion of the development of autonomy in obsessive-compulsive conditions, in sadism and masochism, and, finally, in paranoia.

What People are Saying About This

Paul L. Wachtel

"What a sequel [to Neurotic Styles] it is! ...the keeness of Shaapiro's observations and his virtuoso use of language as an analytical tool are, if anything, eeven more impressive."

Philip S. Holzman

"A brilliant continuation of his classicNeurotic Styles. This work, which moves the frontiers of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic thinking forward...is packed with clinical wisdom, profound implications for a theory of pathology, and sharp, clarifying insights about complex behaviors."
