The perverse transference and other matters

Horacio Etchegoyen has had a profound influence on psychoanalysis throughout the world. Both in his compendious textbook, "The Fundamentals of Psychoanalytic Technique", and as President of the International Psychoanalytic Association, he has endeavoured to bring together the diverse strands of contemporary psychoanalysis including object relations, structural, Kleinian, Lacanian, Bionian and other perspectives. Above all he has stood for an appreciation of the complexity of the analytic situation and especially of the here and now in the transference-countertransference relationship. In this text, figures from international psychoanalysis have contributed chapters that honour Etchegoyen's work and develop further its central themes. This volume will provide the reader, both practicing analyst and interested scholar, with an overview of what's happening in the world of psychoanalysis today.
