Psychology and Its Treatment: Psychoanalytic Approach

This monograph provides a description of both the general psychoanalytic theory of the development of the human psyche and the theory of the nature and elements of psychoanalytic understanding, as well as the application of these two theories to the psychoanalytic treatment of patients representing psychotic, borderline, and neurotic levels of psychopathology. The book by Finnish psychoanalyst Veikko Tahka is recognized by specialists as the best reflection of Western psychoanalysis to date.
