This book collects 34 papers that were originally published in as many years, and that cover a wide range of topics in clinical psychoanalysis. Walter Bonime was a student of Karen Horney and describes himself as a “culturalist;” his previous work includes the 1962 book, The Clinical Use of Dreams. The present book will be of interest to analysts of all theoretical persuasions. Its central focus is collaboration and the forces of resistance that interfere with collaboration. As Bonime writes, “Psychoanalysis is a collaborative process…Basically, it is an intense, intimate, joint activity with one of its goals [being] to make the therapist dispensable and the patient largely autonomous but capable of cooperation in dealing with his or her problems” (p. 60). Bonime comes through the pages of this book as a sensitive and gifted psychoanalyst who is able to think and write clearly and persuasively about a number of clinically significant topics.
