Description

The Basic Fault: Therapeutic Aspects of Regression by Michael Balint First published in 1968, this influential work laid the groundwork for significant changes in psychoanalytic theory. Despite ongoing developments and debates, many fundamental questions remain unanswered, including the effectiveness of various techniques and approaches to treating mental disorder. Balint's work highlights key issues in psychoanalysis and therapy, such as the nature of self, developmental defects, empathy, and the therapist-patient relationship. This paperback edition includes a foreword by Paul H. Ornstein, offering insight into Balint's impact on the field at the time of publication and its continued relevance today. This edition provides a valuable perspective on the ongoing evolution of psychoanalytic thought and practice.
