Description: "The Psychodynamic Image is the first selection of John D. Sutherland's major papers. It provides an overview of the development of his thought on self and society and reveals the extent of his contribution to the field of mental health. Sutherland's papers push the boundaries of psychoanalytic thinking and succeed in demonstrating the wide relevance of psychoanalysis. They will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers."--BOOK JACKET.
