Although few psychoanalytic books have highlighted the work of the philosopher, Michel Foucault, Brothers and Sletvold find much that is highly relevant in his work. They also demonstrate the powerful influence of culture, history, politics and world events on the therapeutic encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an informed and compassionate perspective, this book is essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists regardless of their theoretical orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoris Brothers\u003c\/b\u003e is a co-founder of the Training and Research in Intersubjective Self Psychology Foundation.
