Reviews

This volume reflects the sensitive understanding of the editors, aided by their deep embeddedness in Ferenczi's complex world - of his prolonged and ongoing influence, by his writings and, equally importantly, by his personal impact, handed down through generations. The book demonstrates that Ferenczi's revolutionary ideas continue to be eminently suited to illuminate a whole array of historical, difficult and painful human experiences, not unlike those confronted by Ferenczi. This superb collection of essays by a stellar group of collaborators will enrich the work of Ferenczi scholars as well as the perspectives of newcomers to the highly original thinking of this indelible psychoanalytic pioneer.. --Giselle Galdi, Editor, American Journal of Psychoanalysis, and Training and Supervising Analyst This unique book provides the reader with a window into Ferenczi's development of his fluid theory and practice and his influence on other psychoanalysts. In many of the chapters, Ferenczi's trauma theory is integrated. In addition, significant material on the political, cultural and historical influences on psychoanalysis during Freneczi's life in his native Hungary as well as other countries in Europe provides illuminating background. There are five parts in the book. Part I Melanie Klein and Sandor Ferenczi, Part II From Ferenczi to Winnicott and Dolto, Part III The Balints: memories, personal recollections and images from London, Paris, and Budapest, Part IV Closer to Our time, and Part V Close to the Body. In this brief review, I could only give a taste of the richness of this wonderful book, with the contributions of British, French, American and Hungarian analysts. I highly recommend it for a careful reading. -- (06/23/2014) It seems that time has come to recognise and rediscover the deep influence of Ferenczi and the Hungarian School of Psychoanalysis which he founded (especially Michael, Alice and later Enid Balint) on the history and development of British psychoanalytic thought. This 'emotionally attuned co-creator of psychoanalysis' inspired the work of Klein, Winnicott, Fairbairn, Heimann, Pearl King and also more recent attachment theorists, such as Fonagy and Target. Publishing the present collection of essays--Hungarian, British and French--is a further step in the Ferenczian renaissance, one which is going to re-integrate a partially missing link in the history of psychoanalysis. --Franco Borgogno, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst of the Italian Psychoanalytical Society, and Full Professor of Clinical Psychology
