The Technique and Practice of Psychoanalysis, 5 by Ralph R. Greenson continues the series of publications growing out of the Ralph R. Greenson Archive of the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. In this second (of seven) volumes of Dr. Greenson's training seminars, notes, and miscellaneous papers, we listen in on a master clinician working with advanced candidates in psychoanalytic training on topics including empathy and transference. The freshness and vitality of these transcribed seminar discussions complement Greenson's more formal presentations found in his other published works.
"Ralph Greenson was a gifted charismatic teacher of psychoanalytic technique, premiere in his generation. I and many other students of analysis had the privilege of learning from his clear yet scintillating seminars on dreams and clinical practice. The editor has done a major service to all mental health practitioners in providing these brilliant sparkling Greenson seminars, notes, and papers for our benefit."
