Object relations and relationality in couple therapy: exploring the middle ground

During the course of psychoanalytic psychotherapy with couples, the practising clinician is commonly faced with problems and issues that at times can seem nearly insoluble.

Integrating the rich ideas and techniques from two psychoanalytic traditions, object relations and relational theory, this book surveys those problems, reviews the theoretical background for understanding their underlying dynamics, and offers effective and practical solutions for their resolution.
