Self Psychology

'In Self Psychology: Moving from Theory to Practice Jill Gardner, a superlative teacher, helps both the psychoanalytic beginner and the seasoned therapist to understand Self Psychology, one of the most important theories/practices in recent psychoanalysis. She does not choose between theory and practice, but shows how they stimulate and enrich each other. Her inviting writing helps the reader to embrace essential lifelong learning. I love this book.'

'Jill Gardner has written a superbly lucid volume that brings the therapist into the consulting room and addresses the needs of clinicians who struggle to integrate theory with clinical practice. Demonstrating masterful understanding, this accessible and wonderful book is also a valuable resource for supervisors and teachers as it traces the history of Self Psychology's healing powers.'
