Psychoanalyse im 20. Jahrhundert - Freuds Nachfolger und ihr Beitrag zur modernen Psychoanalyse

This volume presents appreciations, written by twelve experts, of the successors of Freud and their most important theoretical contributions and lasting influence on psychoanalytic practice and theory formation. The discoveries made by Freud's successors are the basis for a pluralistic form of psychoanalysis in which the empirical findings of these outstanding personalities are still able to flow into contemporary psychotherapeutic treatments. The outline biographies not only cast fresh light on the history of psychoanalysis in each country, but also clarify how closely the psychologists' lives and work were often connected.

Dr. Marco Conci is a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst (DPG, SPI, IPA) in private practice in Munich. Emeritus Professor Wolfgang Mertens was formerly Professor of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Research at the University of Munich and has been a practising psychoanalyst for more than 35 years.
