Description

New Clinical Realms, Dr. Akhtar's latest book, raises intriguing questions about man's subjective experience and his relationship with the world around him.

What exactly is mental pain? How does forgiveness occur? What is the proper psychosocial role of a mentor? And, even more provocatively, what is man's inner relationship with animals?

How do inanimate objects sustain and facilitate psychic development throughout the life span?

Do the physical objects in the clinical setting actually affect the patient's mind?

How does simplicity lead to contradiction and at what stage does contradiction yield to paradox? With the help of illuminating clinical vignettes and a solid anchor in the contemporary diversity of psychoanalytic theorizing, Akhtar's book offers clinicians a rare glimpse into both the dark corners of psychopathology and the fresh arenas of healthy mental functioning.

As a result, the readers find their capacity for empathy deepened and their therapeutic skills sharpened. A Jason Aronson Book
