Offers an investigation into the origins, modes and treatmetn of psychical suffering. Ferro provides a clear account of his conception of the way the mind works and his interpretation of the analytic understanding of psychopathology. Ferro gives a unique perspective on subjects including: containing inadequacy and violent emotions; the waking dream and narrations; 'evidence': starting again from Bion; and self-analysis and gradients of functioning in the analyst. «
