Rezensionen

"... Kennedy's work is interesting and enlightening. All the chapters are well written and researched in a thoughtful, scholarly manner. I enjoyed the author's insights into the theater and found his description of the experiment with treating psychotic families as inpatients fascinating. I gained a better understanding of how a British analyst of the Independent School thinks about theory and works with patients. Hence, with the caveat that the numerous "voices" in this book detract from thinking of it as a cohesive volume, I found this a work to enjoy and learn from." - Sybil A.
