The Shadow of the Object: Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known
There is much in this book that is wise, clinically perceptive, and thought-provoking. Bollas is clearly exquisitely sensitive to affective nuances as clues to early, preoedipal events and their developmental consequences....Bollas's book is a lucid, creative, balanced... exposition. It deserves a respectful audience.(The Psychoanalytic Quarterly)
