Reviews

"...I recommend it whole-heartedly..." Martin Smith, Journal of Social Work Practice"An interesting, delightful and insightful read." - Journal of Analytical Psychology 2007 (52) "The book is insightful and follows a familiar trope to his previous writings. It is well worth the read." - Jennifer Silverstone, Reflections Magazine, Summer 2007"Casement's book is a wonderful read for any mental health professional who is curious about psychoanalytic ideas and who thinks about theory as something that needs to be struggled with personally and tried on for size." – Mariana Doig, Fort Da, 2011
