Theories of Object Relations: Bridges to Self Psychology discusses the work of the major American and British contributors to object relations theory, focusing on the ways in which these theories anticipated and enriched the emerging field of self psychology. Howard Bacal and Kenneth Newman significantly advance the integration of major theoretical paradigms and introduce new concepts that provide fresh perspectives on the clinical situation. The authors provide systematic and scholarly synopses of the work of Harry Stack Sullivan, Otto Kernberg, Margaret Mahler, Heinz Kohut and his colleagues, Ian Suttie, Melanie Klein, Michael Balint, W.R.D. Fairbairn, Harry Guntrip, D.W. Winnicott, and John Bowlby. The authors' aim is to make a significant contribution to the integration of therapeutically useful ideas while at the same time pointing out the utility of the distinctive approaches. Bacal and Newman help practitioners to organize and clarify their understanding of patients as they apply object relations theory in a variety of settings to their clinical work.

Discovering Therapeutic Efficacy brings together selected papers and book chapters by Howard Bacal, spanning 40 years as a psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, and psychotherapist.The book includes several key pieces of writing influenced by psychoanalytic figures Bacal had the rare opportunity to study under including Michael Balint, Wilfred Bion, Heinz Kohut, Marion Milner, J. D. Sutherland, and Donald Winnicott. The chapters variously describe how the concept of optimal responsiveness is pivotal to the uniqueness of therapeutic need and how each psychoanalytic dyad discovers its unique capacity to implement it. Bacal describes how this led him to develop specificity theory, a process theory of therapeutic possibility.Discovering Therapeutic Efficacy is replete with illustrative clinical examples. It will be of great interest and of practical usefulness not only to psychoanalysts, but to every practitioner of dynamic psychotherapy as they strive to be as optimally responsive as they can to their patients and students.The free Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC) 4.0 license.
