Editor's Note Acknowledgments Introduction by Judith Dupont Abbreviations The Clinical Diary of Sandor Ferenczi Draft Introduction by Michael Balint Notes for a Preface by Michael Balint Index
Judith Dupont is a psychoanalyst and lives in Paris.
Compelling… Ferenczi was an innovator, an experimenter, someone who
was always trying new approaches to the treatment of mental
illness, even when his unorthodox techniques placed him in
opposition to his analyst and mentor, Sigmund Freud.
*New York Times Book Review*
Allows the public interested in such matters to assess, far better
than before, the range of [Ferenczi’s] professional gifts and the
depth of his psychological vulnerability… A welcome addition to the
growing number of significant texts illuminating the history of
psychoanalysis.
*London Review of Books*
The Diary is the work of a sane mind in full possession of its
powers and gives us insight into the day-to-day thoughts of a
practitioner whose status as a creative innovator is probably
unsurpassed since Freud. It is a very moving book. One is
continually amazed by the courage of the man.
*Times Literary Supplement*
Freud criticised his one-time favourite son for advocating the
‘kissing technique’; Ferenczi believed that ‘only sympathy heals’.
This is the 1932 record of his analyses. His work was faltering,
doubting, and quite possibly, healing.
