Arguably the most informative and readable account of the development of British independent psychoanalysis, Eric Rayner’s The Independent Mind in British Psychoanalysis offers a coherent account of the core concepts that influence the clinical practice.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate new developments in the field. The authors discuss each of the crucial stages in human development through birth, adolescence, mid-life and old age to dying, grief and mourning.
Eric Rayner has written an incisive and much needed introduction to the work of Matte Blanco, using vivid clinical examples to explain key concepts.
