Abstract

To be invited to review a book for IJP is always a little anxiety provoking. When the book is written by three members of one's own psychoanalytical society, it is almost frightening. To discover that ‘actually, it is two books I want you to review’ and that the second one is edited by two more colleagues from the British Psychoanalytical Society (BPaS) and contains papers by a further 16, it becomes positively life threatening. Fortunately, to my enormous relief, I enjoyed both books and so can be positive about them.
