Resnik rightly points out that if we are going to unfreeze the patient, we have to develop warm human relationships with them, in which we are not afraid to use our countertransference associations. In a world threatened with domination by evidence-based medicine within the field of psychosis, this book redresses the balance. It restores the centrality of a human approach with respect to the patient. It encourages those working in the field to gain confidence, in developing their own individual style, when working with patients with chronic schizophrenia. - Richard Lucas, Int. J. Psychoanal. 2006 vol 87 part 3 The reader is guided on a richly intuitive tour...the articulated gems of description by which [the author] conveys the psychotic experience have a powerful and often unexpected impact on the reader - Bob Hinshelwood, Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory Research and Practice Author InformationSalomon Resnik is a psychoanalyst and psychiatrist and author of The Theatre of Dream.
