Progress in Self Psychology, V. 5 : Dimensions of Self-Experience

A highlight of Volume 5 is series of self-psychological commentaries on dreams and dreaming (J.

Fosshage, H. Fiss, R. Greenberg). Developmental contributions draw on analytic data and infant research to review self-psychological precepts (E. & M. Shane), and examine the origins of eating disorders in female development (S.

Sands). Clinical presentations delineate the disruption-restoration cycles that typify the therapeutic process (E.

Wolf), analyze self/selfobject fixations (H. Muslin), and apply self psychology to the topics of substance abuse (R.

Ulman & H. Paul) and suicide (J. Kay).
