Bøker av Arnold Modell

Nearly a century has passed since Freud's theories unleashed a revolution in our understanding of the human psyche. Yet, as Modell observes, we still do not possess a theory that explains how psychoanalysis works. This book provides insight into this perplexing problem and lays the foundation for a comprehensive theory of psychoanalytic treatment.

In The Private Self, Arnold Modell contributes an interdisciplinary perspective in formulating a theory of the private self. A leading thinker in American psycho-analysis, Modell here studies selfhood by examining variations on the theme of the self in Freud and in the work of object relations theorists, self psychologists, and neuroscientists.
