Description
Michael Balint's Object Relations Pure and Applied explores the theoretical foundations of his influential work in psychoanalysis. This comprehensive account evaluates Balint's contributions to Object Relations theory, firmly establishing his place within its development.
The book examines Balint's theories on human psychological development, including primary love, ocnophilia, philobatia, the basic fault, and the three areas of the mind. It also delves into his understanding of the analyst's influence and technique, drawing connections to his relationship with Sandor Ferenczi.
Featuring insights from two General Practitioners who have worked with Balint's method, this book brings alive his teaching and practice, demonstrating the relevance of his theories to current analytic practice. A valuable resource for understanding Balint's work and its ongoing impact on psychotherapy.
