Editorial Reviews

"Gardner's vision is of an adventurous voyage to the edge of awareness in a vehicle powered ultimately by the love of inquiry for its own sake. . . . I know no psychoanalyst whose prose gives such deepening pleasure with each rereading."

- Shelley Orgel, M.D., International Review of Psychoanalysis

"Many important papers and books have been written about empathy, transference, and countertransference, as well as about the nature of the psychoanalytic process, but I cannot think of anyone who has demonstrated in such a radical and convincing way why there can be no psychoanalysis without self-analysis."

- Bo Larrson, M.D., Psychoanalytic Psychology
