Plural Psyche

<p>Pluralism can bridge the gaps that have opened up between personal experience psychotherapy and cultural criticism. In <i>The Plural Psyche: Personality Morality and the Father</i> a provocative much praised and widely discussed book Andrew Samuels lays bare the political implications of the personal struggle everyone has to hold their many inner divisions together. He also shows how pluralism can inspire new thinking in many areas including moral process the construction of gender and the role of the father in the development of sons and daughters. In addition there are innovative chapters on clinical work focusing on imagery and on countertransference. These themes come to life in a way that makes a significant contribution to debates about psychotherapy gender parenting and difference. </p><p>This Classic Edition of <i>The Plural Psyche </i>includes a new introduction by the author. </p>
