Selected Contributions to Psycho Analysis

This book is a re-issue of John Rickman's classic collection of papers on psycho-analysis. It contains a variety of topics that indicates Rickman's range of interests and inter-disciplinary contacts, explaining his attempts to understand and throw light on problems met with by professional groups. A welcome reissue of the collected papers of John Rickman, originally published in 1957, with a new preface by Pearl King. It spans 30 years of Rickman's rapidly-expanding psychoanalytic research in fields including crime, individual and group dynamics, psychopathology, hysteria, communication and general medicine. This work will be of interest to all those in the psychoanalytic community and those interested in the history of psychoanalysis, and is a first rate anthology into the pioneering early years of psychoanalysis. This book acts as a partner to Pearl King's other edited collection, No Ordinary Psychoanalyst: The Exceptional Contributions of John Rickman.
