The Inseparable Nature of Love and Aggression by Otto F Kernberg Md

The Inseparable Nature of Love and Aggression by Otto F Kernberg Md

This book distinguishes, then interrelates psychoanalytic, clinical psychiatric, and neurobiological perspectives in a variety of areas, beginning with severe personality disorders and extending to love, destructiveness, mourning, spirituality, and the future of psychoanalytic inquiry.

This volume reflects the extraordinary knowledge and clinical experience of one of the world's most respected psychoanalystsThe reader will recognize the evolution of Kernberg's writings that reflect a master clinician with genuine wisdom and compassion both for patients with severe personality disorders and for the therapist. I would recommend The Inseparable Nature of Love and Aggression to psychiatric residents, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists as well as to the psychodynamically informed general reader.

This author's work is always fascinating and thought-provoking. This book is well worth the time to read, especially for those who treat patients with severe personality disorders. I particularly enjoyed his efforts at bringing together neurobiology, affect theory, and psychoanalytic thought. This is an excellent addition to Dr. Kernberg's lexicon and I strongly recommend it.

Kernberg's The Inseparable Nature of Love and Aggression: Clinical and Theoretical Perspectives could more accurately be titled 'The Very Best of Otto F. Kernberg.' It will be thoroughly enjoyed and valued as an outstanding clinical and theoretical textbook by any experienced clinician and academician who recognizes the conceptual value of the unconscious and is already familiar with the basic tenets of psychodynamic and object relations theory.
