"Buirski and Haglund have made a valuable contribution to the psychotherapy literature with this comprehensive presentation of the intersubjective approach. Both beginning and experienced practitioners will appreciate its clear exposition, its illuminating connections between theory and practice, and its well-chosen clinical illustrations. The impact of intersubjectivity on the humanity, humility, and range of contemporary psychodynamic treatment comes through loud and clear in this engaging, readable book.--Nancy McWilliams, Ph.D, Rutgers University Buirski and Haglund have written a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to intersubjectivity theory and practice that is lucid and systematic. Clinical illustrations bring the theory to life. The book includes a careful overview of fundamentals and basic application, a creative approach to psychotherapy supervision and detailed descriptions of clinical process that allows the reader to follow how a case is actually treated and understood. This book is a valuable addition to the library of anyone seeing patients in therapy.--Lewis Aron, Ph.D., New York University Excellent overview of an intersubjective perspective. The essence of their tone is an empathic and attuned responsiveness toward patients that I believe will resonate with most clinicians and assist them in their work with patients.-- ""Clinical Social Work Journal"" The dialogic nature of psychoanalytic inquiry is captured beautifully by the title of this volume, Making Sense Together. Buirski and Haglund have done a great service by providing a superb introductory text presenting the basic ideas of intersubjectivity theory in clear, down-to-earth, user-friendly language that will be very accessible and extremely valuable to students and trainees in psychotherapy. The rich clinical illustrations make the intersubjective perspective come alive for the reader. Making Sense Together will be of enormous help to therapists in their efforts to explore hitherto uncharted regions of intersubjective space.--Robert D. Stolorow, Ph.D., training and supervising analyst, Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles"
