Description
Aggression and Destructiveness: Psychoanalytic Perspectives by Celia Harding explores the complex nature of aggression in human relationships. This book delves into the roots of aggression, its positive functions, and the clinical dilemmas it presents in psychotherapy. Harding brings together contributions from experienced psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists to examine aggression and destructiveness from various developmental and theoretical perspectives. The book covers topics such as bullying and abusive relationships, male and female violence, depressive states of mind, and attacks on therapeutic treatment. A valuable resource for trainee and qualified psychodynamic counsellors, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, and psychoanalysts, this book provides insights into the human experience of aggression and destructiveness.
