Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Psychoanalytic theory influenced many facets of twentieth century culture, and shows every sign of continuing to have an impact in the new century. However, in order to sustain this influence it has to adapt to the challenges of our current intellectual environment.

This perspective studies biological, psychological and social influences that act on individuals, shaping their pathways through life.

This book highlights the developmental bases for psychoanalytic ideas, and examines their assumptions and claims in relation to observational and other data gathered within neighbouring disciplines.
