Psychoanalytic Object Relations Therapy

Psychoanalytic Object Relations Therapy by Horner, Althea. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781568216379.

In Psychoanalytic Object Relations Therapy, Althea Horner explores the clinical implications of developmental object relations theory. She considers the importance of finding the interpersonal metaphor embedded in the patients material, the various kinds of interventions made by the therapist, and the multiple ways the patient uses the therapist, such as a selfobject, a container, and an object for identification. Eight case presentations demonstrate Horners theoretical contributions.
