Part IV: Research& mdash;Describes the burgeoning research in psychoanalysis, focusing on outcome, process, developmental, and conceptual research. Part V: History of Psychoanalysis—Traces the history of psychoanalysis, showing how individual personality, world events, and cultural differences have led to varieties of discoveries and perspectives.

Book News Annotation:
The therapeutic practice and theory that began with Freud is
described in full in this textbook, with sections on central
concepts, developmental theory, treatment and technique, research,
the history of psychoanalysis, and its practice in conjunction with
other disciplines. Each chapter is authored by a specialist, most of
whom teach and practice in the US. (The editors state that the North
American practice is the text's basic model). A useful glossary of
terms is provided. The editors are at Columbia U. and Baylor College
of Medicine. The contributors are predominantly in the US, though the
authors of the chapters on psychoanalysis in Latin America, France,
and Europe are based in Brazil, Argentina, Canada, and the UK.
