'Theory of Psychoanalytical Practice: A Relational Process Approach is a wonderful tour de force, a journey through the main phases and specific aspects of the psychoanalytic method of treatment. The reader - either a seasoned analyst or a student of this impossible profession - can thus follow this path, under the experienced and elegant guidance of Juan Tubert-Oklander, one of the most distinguished Latin American analysts of our time, who takes advantage of his long practice and teaching skills in order to offer in this book a comprehensive account of the main contributions to the field, including his own views, but always through his ability to see, listen, feel, and write in both a sensitive and precise way. A book to be read over and over again.'- Claudio Laks Eizirik, Former President of the International Psychoanalytical Association
