Annie Reich was one of the most distinguished clinical psychoanalysts of the New York Psychoanalytic Society. She became a member of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society in 1929 at the age of twenty-seven and was therefore able to refine her art and develop her analytic wisdom for more than four decades. In this volume of her contributions from 1932 through 1966, one can view the 'life span' of modern ego psychology, including the recent papers by Kernberg and Kohut. Her contributions also illustrate her ability to master concepts worked out by Greenacre, Hartmann, Jacobson, Lewin, Mahler, Nunberg, and others, and to weave them into clinical case examples with theoretical constructions that are a joy to re-read in sequence. They reflect the continuing maturity of a remarkable analyst.
