"Robert Waska is a new and promising American voice in the literature on Kleinian theory and practice and also on the psychoanalytic treatment of the difficult patientUtmostly he encourages us to "think analytically" while treating any patient no matter how infrequently we see them or how ill they may be. This work also presents us with a studious review and amplification of Kleinian theory and technique." – James Grotstein, Training and Supervising Analyst Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society, USA
Robert Waska conducts a full-time private psychoanalytic practice for individuals and couples in San Francisco and Marin County, California. In addition, he has taught classes and supervised therapists in the Bay Area and has presented papers in the United States and internationally. Dr. Waska is the author of ten textbooks on psychoanalytic theory and technique and is a contributing author for two psychology texts. He has also published more than ninety articles in professional journals and serves on the review committee for several journal and book publishers. Dr. Waska's work focuses on contemporary psychoanalytic topics, including projective identification, loss, borderline and psychotic states, the practical realities of psychoanalytic practice in the modern world, and the establishment of analytic contact with difficult and hard-to-reach patients. He emphasizes the moment-to-moment understanding of transference and phantasy as the vehicle for gradual integration and mastery of unconscious conflict between the self and the other.
