Karasu presents an intellectually comfortable and conceptually neat integration of what have been clashing and competitive theories of the salient features in the development of the self. While his emphasis is on pathological outcomes, this approach highlights the stresses besetting the child and their ultimate impact on his or her sense of self.
There was a time when the public watchword was “Make love, not war.” Karasu reminds the psychoanalytic clinician that we should seek theoretical integration and eschew schism so that we may, in parallel fashion, enhance the integration of the self of the patient.
