A
Psychoanalytic Theory of Infantile Experience : Conceptual and Clinical
Reflections “Eugenio
Gaddini (1916-85) was an illustrious pioneer of Italian psychoanalysis
in Rome. His references to the literature show him to have been a reader
of breadth and penetration, showing understanding, discernment and
critical penetration of the writings, especially of Freud, Greenacre,
Melanie Klein and Winnicott, and also of Bion, Fenichel, Ferenczi, Anna
Freud, Jacobson and Mahler, as well as others. The many clinical
vignettes illuminating his papers show him to have had real clinical
sensitivity in his work with adults…… This is an important book. From
Gaddini's wealth of ideas and experience it offers, particularly, his
unique views on development, involving his correlations and creative
combinations of the psychological and the psychosomatic, of
metapsychology and object-relations theory, of external observation and
clinical practice, of body and mind, mental and physical, and so on; all
used to give invaluably stimulating suggestions and new slants to these
very problematic areas.” The books in
this series can be ordered from Karnac Books Ltd
