This is an unsettling and absorbing book. With painstaking detail Feldman takes you through his thinking about his patients. Not for a moment does the rigour of his thinking relax as he is not satisfied unless he has reached as far as he can into the details of psychic phenomena. This is done by constant and careful monitoring of his own and his patient's emotional terrain. His interpretations, built upon this extraordinary attention to detail, are given to his patients without once losing sight of the analytic task of enabling psychic change. Few psychoanalysts are able to work with such precision and then go on to describe their work with both clarity and detail.
