Its 19 chapters are divided into five evenly balanced parts. The first rubric, Self, Others, and Ego, introduces us to the units of the intersubjective constitution we have come to know as object relations theory. The second rubric, Developing Object Relations, is a confluence of lessons derived from infant studies and the psychotherapeutic process, specifically from the work of Mahler and Kernberg. Third, Hamilton integrates into an Object Relations Continuum Mahler's developmental stages and organizational series with nosological entities and levels of personality organization. Under the penultimate rubric, Treatment, levels of object relatedness and types of psychopathology are grounded in considerations of technique in treatment, and generous clinical vignettes are provided to illustrate the technical issues cited. Last, the rubric of Broader Contexts takes object relations theory out of the consulting room into application areas that include folklore, myth, and transformative themes on the self, small and large groups, applications of object relations theory outside psychoanalysis, and the evolutionary history and politics of object relations theory. This volume thus presents an integrative theory of object relations that links theory with practice. But, more than that, Hamilton accomplishes his objective of delineating an integrative theory that is quite free of rivalry between schools of thought. An indispensable contribution to beginning psychoanalytic candidates and other practitioners as well as those who wish to see the application of object relations theories to fields outside of psychoanalysis. -Psychoanalytic Books: A Quarterly Journal of Reviews A Jason Aronson Book","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50295641440529,"sku":"CIN0876685440A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50311416119569,"sku":"CIN0876685440G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763397136657,"sku":"CIN0876685440VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52454160564497,"sku":"NLS9780876685440","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52708445683985,"sku":"GOR008765526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0876685440.jpg?v=1759402398"},{"product_id":"from-inner-sources-book-n-gregory-hamilton-md-n-gregor-9780876685402","title":"From Inner Sources","description":"\"This volume is a collection of 14 previously published papers, chronicling a modern position on object relations theory in its clinical rather than theoretical aspects. The editor, along with a number of contributors, including Glen O. Gabbard and Thomas Ogden, are members of a group of brilliant young American psychoanalysts who are forging aggressively into fields initially explored by the British psychoanalytic adherents. Hamilton, formerly a Menninger Foundation staff member, has moved to Oregon, where he is taking a vigorous role in the education of psychoanalysts. The papers in the volume are in the main well known and written by authoritative clinicians. Hamilton's editing is excellent; he provides a useful brief rationale for each paper. After a brilliant dissertation on the whole field of object relations theory, the book's three sections cover the differences among theories and therapists and their techniques; the relationship between therapist and patient; and clinical accounts of work with severely disturbed patients.  Hamilton clearly is committed to the object relations approach and takes pains to delineate how it varies from traditional ego-psychological, drive-defense approaches. He has published on this subject in the past and uses literary metaphors and intense and passionate language to convey how important he considers this particular branch of psychoanalysis to be and how different it is from the American and Freudian schools. He points out that the parallel development between object relations theory and ego psychology in the British Psycho-Analytical Institute came from the treatment of patients more disturbed than those their American counterparts were seeing, people whose primary issues had to do with difficulties in establishing, internalizing and externalizing relationships, who had problems with reciprocity and mutuality.  This book will have wide usefulness both to busy clinicians and to academically oriented psychotherapists who want a collection of papers for teaching purpo","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50296489214225,"sku":"CIN0876685408G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51719269548305,"sku":"CIN0876685408VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0876685408.jpg?v=1751108193"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-n-gregory-hamilton-md-n-gregory-hamilton-md.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
