Description
An attempt to reassert the fundamental importance of the Freudian legacy for human self-understanding and the practice of welfare. The authors address core themes such as the scientific base of psychoanalysis, its place within a wider social theory, new developments in therapeutic practice and the increasing attention paid to psychoanalysis within contemporary feminism. They assess the practical applications of psychoanalytical thinking to a range of social work activities and includes topics such as child abuse and eating disorders.
