Dr. Guntrip concerns himself specifically with the self and its interpersonal and object relations. Through the work of Freud, Sullivan, Erikson, Horney, and other theorists, he thoroughly explores the origin, and development of the psychoanalytic theory and its relevance and application to modern therapeutic methods.As a result of his extensive work with schizoid patients who are detached, withdrawn, and unable to form real human relations, Dr. Guntrip has come to regard the self as the fundamental psychological conceptâ and psychoanalysis as the study of its growth.â According to Dr. Guntrip modern psychoanalytic therapy provides a kind of personal relationship in which the alienated, stunted self is given the potential for a healthy growth and development which put it in touch with other persons and objects. The author firmly believes that the analyst, through careful insight, recognition, and a mental awareness of the emergence of the inner core of isolation, can enable the patient to find his own reality as a person.

Basic Books

Dr. Fairbaim for reading through the parts of this book that concern his views, to check their accuracy; Dr. R. E. D. MarkilU e(L eeds Department of Psychiatry, Member of theB ritish Psycho-A nalytical Society) with whom I have had the opportunity to discuss the whole MS; Dr. J. D. Sutherland (M edical Director, Tavistock Clinic) for his criticism of chapter VII and his kindness in writing a Foreword; and above all Dr. M. Brierley for detailed and valuable criticisms and suggestions. This book contains a certain amount of material that formed the first half of a thesis for the degree of Ph.D., presented to London University in 1953. The title of the thesis wasT he Implications of Recent Trends in Psycho-A nalysis forS ociology .B ya happy coincidence one of the examiners appointed to judge the thesis was my early teacher, the late Professor J. C. Flugel, with whom subsequently I had the advantage of some discussion of its contents. The substance of chapters I, II, V, VIII and IX are taken from the thesis, with some expansion. Chapters III, IV, VI and VII are new, while the sections in the thesis on the views of Melanie Klein andF airbaim have been entirely re-written. Chapters XVII and XVIII are also new. I have to thank London University for permission to reproduce the material indicated. A book of this type, surveying in a detailed and historical way the developments of psychodynamic thought over a period of eighty years, must either make a large use of quotations or else risk subtle distortion by presenting the views of other minds in the present writers own words. I have preferred the former course for the sake of scientific accuracy. I am, therefore, all the more indebted to a long list of authors, Journal editors and publishers. Their permission to use their works thus has made it possible for me to employ this more accurate method.

Personality Structure and Human Interaction: The Developing Synthesis of Psycho-Dynamic Theory (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Personality Structure and Human Interaction: The Developing Synthesis of Psycho-Dynamic TheoryT H I S book is not intended to be a history of psycho-analytical theory. In any complete form that would be a far larger under taking. Many important aspects of theory here omitted would have called for inclusion, particularly in the case of Freud and Melanie Klein. I have attempted something different, something that I believe needs to be done at about this time, something that arises as a problem out of the very nature of science as hitherto under stood, as soon as it comes to be applied to human beings.This involves making a historical survey, and I have sought to let the important writers speak for themselves. The justification for fairly frequent quotations and some lengthy ones must be found in this deliberate purpose.But such a survey would be mere mechanical hackwork, more or 1685 complete recording, unless the writer felt he could trace the emergence of deeper understanding along certain definite lines.The close study of psycho-analysis over many years, against the background of philosophical, religious, literary and social studies, has bred in me the conviction that here at last, and here alone, scientific enquiry has come face to face with the intimate and fully 'personal' life of man. This constitutes as big a test for science as for man. Science has to discover whether and how it can deal with the 'person', the 'unique individual', we will dare to say the 'spiritual self' with all the motives, values, hopes, fears and pur poses that constitute the real life of man, and make a purely 'organic' approach to man inadequate. On the other hand, man has to face the most penetrating searchlight focussed upon his essential nature, and must find out how to adjust to the stripping off of his psychic defences and self-deceptions, built up to hide failures in development towards maturity, while the struggle to cope with living in spite of immaturity is carried on.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
