Editorial Reviews

Brothers (Training and Research Institute for Self Psychology) examines trust of others and of the self as the "glue" of self- experience, and shows how the betrayal of self-trust results in the dissociative alteration of subjective reality associated with traumas. She uses clinical studies and in-depth treatment cases to illustrate the clinical advantages of the self-trust perspective, and explores Freud's relationships with Fleiss, Jung, and Adler.
