This book is an interesting collection of 10 clinical papers, subdivided into sections on theory and technique, all but one of which have been previously and individually published. It is one of a series of books under the aegis of The New Library of Psychoanalysis, which was launched in 1987 in association with the Institute of Psycho-Analysis, London. In her Foreword, Pearl King offers a helpful sketch of the development of the author's thinking on these matters. Harold Stewart is a member of the "Independent Group" of the British Psycho-Analytical Society, and his work bears heavily on the influence of D. W. Winnicott, M. Balint, and others of the British school, the main characteristics of which he indicates are based on the importance of object relations and of the "here-and-now" of the transference.
