The book is divided into four sections. In the first of these, 'Development', there are contributions from: N. Abraham & M. Torok on 'Introjection-incorporation', D. Anzieu on 'Skin ego' and M.

The second section is entitled 'Metapsychology and theory', and comprises contributions from: R. Barande on 'The "death instinct" as nontransgression', C.

Smirnoff with a paper on the 'The fetishistic transaction' and J. McDougall with a paper entitled 'The antianalysand'. Finally, the last section of the anthology, entitled 'Problems of Technique', contains pieces from: D. Braunschweig on 'Narcissism in psychoanalytic therapy', R. Diatkine & J. Simon with 'Some reflections on interpretation in psychoanalysis of children', G. Favez on 'Illusion and disillusion in psychoanalysis', J-C. Lavie on 'Tal
