Description
John Steiner’s clear style of writing, emerging from observations made in his clinical practice, provides depth of insight, sensitivity and a real interest and concern for his patients.
One measure of Steiner’s contribution to psychoanalysis is the number of terms and expressions he used that are now common currency, such as ‘pathological organisations of the personality’, ‘psychic retreats’, ‘emerging from psychic retreats’, ‘seeing and being seen’, and ‘patient-centred and analyst-centred interpretations’.
