Customer Reviews

I loved this book!

If you think psychoanalysis is dead... boy, are you wrong! Cooper and his collegues explain to us how this is still the most profound and clear path to the human mind. A must for anyone who has a mind that is not analysed. Those who have been analysed might also find this book mesmerizing!

A most insightful view of contemporary analytic thought.

Dr. Cooper continues to amaze us with this most thorough journey of contemporary analytic thinking. He shares his view on how psychoanalysis has evolved and the influence that has had on civilization. He gives an opinion that could only be conceived by one of the most influential clinical minds of this century.
