Description: A central, although unappreciated, dimension of psychoanalysis is the complex oral tradition through which analysts reconstruct their lives and careers. The Inward Eye captures a significant portion of this tradition. In a series of interviews initially conceived as an aspect of their psychoanalytic education, Laurie W. Raymond and Susan Rosbrow-Reich skillfully elicit the fascinating personal stories of 16 senior analysts.
