Bemerkung:

Gutes Ex. - Englisch. // HOW has a theory of man as a social being to be formulated if we are to do justice to his individuality, to the subtle ways in which his love and hate compete within his relations with others and to the anxieties and resistances he shows when he seeks to change himself? To answer this question is the task which the author sets himself. From a background of philosophy, theology and social studies, he went on to take a personal psycho* analysis and to become a full-time psychotherapist, and it is from this combination of wide knowledge and intensive work with people beset by conflicts in their relations with themselves and others that Dr Guntrip evolves his views. After assessing Freud's basic principles he proceeds to make a uniquely comprehensive review of subsequent theoretical contributions to psycho-analysis with special emphasis on the work of Fairbairn and Melanie Klein, as it is in their writings that he considers the most needed developments have been made, namely, the placing of the theory of personality squarely in the realm of human interaction. In the first part of Dr Guntrip's book all students of personality will find an arresting survey of the development of psycho-analytic thought; in the latter part they will meet highly stimulating and profound views on the origins and nature of the conflicting forces in human relationships. ?
