... there is a general balance throughout this excellent book. There is humour too, and awareness of our need for a degree of necessary humility in viewing our human condition. <br>- Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy <br> In reading this book slowly and with pleasure I have had the experience of learning, which, to paraphrase the author, is the experience of having emotional experiences which were meaningful and can then become the basis for further thoughts. <br>- Journal of Analytical Psychology <br> Overall, the book is wonderfully written and abounds with rich clinical examples. Above all, by locating Kleinian theory in a context of normal development, it adds an interpersonal dimension to that theory that is indeed welcome. <br>- Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association <br> I found this book immensely stimulatng, challenging me to examine my own biases and assumed truths, and always a pleasure to read. I recommend it to all who have aninterest in understanding the processes of human development from the inside. <br>- The International Journal of Infant Observation <br>
