The Origins Of Love And Hate

by Ian D Suttie

Overview

First published in 1999. The author presents a passionate argument for a therapeutic practice based on the physician's love for the deeply deprived patient. Ian Suttie, a psychiatrist of the Tavistock clinic in the 1930s, advocates a more optimistic view of human nature than traditional Freudian psychology. Hadfield describes the importance of this title by stating that where the reader does not agree with the author they will, nevertheless, have their own thoughts stimulated and their own views clarified.
