Is it relevant to today's mental health crisis? How can psychoanalysis help people suffering from psychological distress and illness? This vital new book examines how psychoanalysis has changed since its inception, and how it hasadapted to the needs and concerns of twenty-first century mental health professionals and patients. The first part of this book provides a concise and unbiased account of the origins of psychoanalysis, and the theories which characterize the main post-Freudian schools - neo-Freudian, Kleinian, Interpersonal, Self-Psychological, Lacanian - and the ways in which they agree and diverge.
