4.0
Kind of a tough and dense read because the concepts are presented in esoteric case studies that took place in 1970s England.
That said, there are some concepts in this book that are important and fascinating. Some include a practical perspective on psychoanalytic concepts like transference, displacement, attachment, and aggression.
The book makes insightful claims about human emotion, motivation, and it's impact on our lived experience. While the patients in the book are in situations relatively foreign to my 2020's US, I still found the themes explored both interesting and useful.
That said, this book is dense and esoteric. It took a while to get through. Please make note.
