Présentation de l'éditeur

In this extraordinary book, James Masterson gives new meaning to 'back to the future' as he reviews some of the most significant ideas he set forth a quarter of a century ago and wonders out loud how they will cross over into the new millennium. Most have stood the test of time and indeed will serve as a strong foundation for the work that is to come; some have gone through a healthy evolution and remain more fluid. All continue to hold our interest and to demand our attention. A unique highlight is the inclusion of a comprehensive report of a six-year course of psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a patient with a closet narcissistic defense against neurosis. This rich case study makes accessible not only the overt clinical issues being negotiated, but also the all-important nuances of disclosure and treatment. Readers across the field will benefit from Dr. Masterson's decision to pause and reflect on his 25 years of work in the personality disorders - his decision to pause and project what the future may hold in this important area of investigation.
