Purchase options and add-ons

This second edition of the remarkable Inside Lives (expanded with a chapter on the last years of the life cycle) provides a perspective on the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and the nature of human development. Following the major developmental phases from infancy to old age, the author lucidly explores the vital aspects of experience which promote mental and emotional growth and those which impede it. In bringing together a wide range of clinical, non-clinical and literary examples, it offers a detailed and accessible introduction to contemporary psychoanalytic thought and provides a personal and vivid approach to the elusive question of how the personality develops.

Review

'A remarkable achievement.'- Edna O'Shaughnessy'...with wisdom and compassion . essential reading for any parent or caregiver.'- Sylvia Ann Hewlett'In straightforward, jargon-free language the author explores, describes and reflects on the vicissitudes of emotional life from within the womb to later adulthood and the final stages of life. writes with great humanity and wisdom, both in vignettes and the analysis of them, creating a work of lasting value.'- Journal of Social Work Practice'The difficulty I have found in reviewing is that it is hard to adequately convey the scope, the richness, depth and literary beauty of this book.'- Journal of Child Psychotherapy

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Readable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2010

I loved this book and read it in one sitting. it links psycho-analytical concepts to life stages, with some emphasis on Kleinian thought. I liked that Waddel makes extensive use of case studies and also makes links with literature. I wouldn't recommend it if you have read no psycho-analytical works as it assumes that you have some basic knowledge in this field. That said you by no means need to be a therapist to understand this book, you just need to be interested in therapy and in people.
