The Discovery of the Self - Elizabeth Severn - Bog

Elizabeth Severn, known as "R.N." in Sandor Ferenczi¿s Clinical Diary, was Ferenczi¿s analysand for eight years, the patient with whom he conducted his controversial experiment in mutual analysis, and a psychoanalyst in her own right who had a transformative influence on his work. The Discovery of the Self is the distillation of that experience and allows us to hear the voice of one of the most important patients in the history of psychoanalysis. This book is a reissue of Severn¿s landmark work of 1933, together with an introduction by Peter L. Rudnytsky that sets out the unrecognized importance of her thinking both for the development of psychoanalysis and for contemporary theory.
