Comparing Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies

Based on two workshops held February 1990 in New York and March 1990 in San Francisco. Following the presentation and discussion of three clinical case histories, psychotherapists James F. Masterson, Marian Tolpin, and Peter E. Sifneos compare and contrast developmental, self, and object relations theory with self psychology theory, and further contrast these approaches with the short-term dynamic approach to the borderline and narcissistic personality disorders and neuroses.
