Arnold M. Cooper is the Stephen P. Tobin and Dr. Arnold M. Cooper Professor Emeritus in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Weill-Cornell Medical Center, and Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. Elizabeth L.

'The clinical examples are illustrative, clear, occasionally self-critical, and modest. It is unusual for an analyst to write about his mistakes, where he has erred, and where he has done poorly. The last section of the book deals with psychoanalysis as a profession. As we have come to expect from Cooper, the emphasis here is not an analytic rules or standard technique but on the analyst’s character, particularly the capacity to resonate and be empathic with the analysands.' - Harry Trosman, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association 2006 Vol 54 No. 2, p659'In this book we have an excellent example of how psychoanalysis has grown primarily as a result of clinical work, though fertilized by neighboring disciplines that augment its base of knowledge. In addition to the clinical context, Cooper has benefited from literature, philosophy, infant research, and neurobiology. However, the major attraction of this work is its emphasis on the analystic situation as an empirical base for expanding the systematic body of psychoanalytic knowledge. Finally let me say that in so far as the New Library of Psychoanalysis was seeking a spokesman for the contemporary American position, its editors chose well in publishing these papers of Arnold Cooper.' - Harry Trosman, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association 2006 Vol 54 No. 2, p600'It follows from Cooper's stress on plurality, experiment, empirical research, the value of a psychoanalytic community, and pragmatic openness that he has an important place in contemporary psychoanalysis. To use his own language, he is a "lumper" rather than a "splitter", a force for mutual investigative collaboration, rather than a contestant against rival schools.' - Jay Martin, American Imago 2006 Vol 63 No. 1, p130'Analysts with greatly differing convictions can learn much from Cooper's rigorous investigations of the narcissistic-masochistic character and its derivatives - in their patients, and perhaps even in themselves.' - Jay Martin, American Imago 2006 Vol 63 No. 1, p133'With auto biographical candor and a probing attitude that permeates every page, Cooper reflects on the formative experiences and raises questions as "... part of an ongoing personal struggle to reassure myself that my thinking psychoanalytically wasn't totally eccentric. I was never certain that I did deep analysis as the socalled orthodox did... Until quite recently I wasn’t sure that they didn't know something vital that I didn't." ... He invites us to join his personal evolution - his silent revolution - to think about where we have been as a profession and where we may be headed. ... The Quiet Revolution in American Psychoanalysis is both reassuring and disquieting, ultimately deidealizing complacency and stagnation while encouraging a questioning attitude about what is considered psychoanalytic.' - Julie Jaffee Nagel, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly Vol LXXV 2006 No 4
