Heinz Kohut: The Chicago Institute Lectures
"Kohut at his best! Kohut was particularly lively and clear when challenged by questions and when lecturing. The Tolpins have done us a great service in bringing together Kohut's thinking at a time when he was in the midst of some of his most important work.The Chicago Institute Lecturesclarify important aspects of Kohut's thinking and allow the reader important new understandings regarding both development of the self and techniques for working with disorders of the self. This is a critical volume in the study of clinical and theoretical aspects of psychoanalysis."- Bertram J. Cohler, Ph.D., University of Chicago"Distinguished analysts in their own right, Marian and Paul Tolpin have brought together a series of lectures by Heinz Kohut given to analytic candidates in their last years of formal training.  Superbly edited, these lectures provide the reader with a sense of intimate participation in the evolution and development of Kohut's theory, including detailed examples of typical cases and dilemmas in the treatment process.  Not for analysts alone but for a wide audience of mental health professionals, Kohut'sChicago Institute Lecturesis an invaluable text."- Miriam Elson, A.M., Emeritus Lecturer, University of Chicago
