Object Relations Couple Therapy » (1st Edition)

In this landmark book, David Scharff and Jill Savege Scharff, both psychoanalysts, develop a way of thinking about and working with the couple as a small group of two, held together as a tightly knit system by a commitment that is powerfully reinforced by the bond of mutual sexual pleasure.

The Therapeutic Use of Countertransference Is Particularly Valuable ...Object relations provides a conceptual bridge uniting intrapsychic and interpersonal events, tying together introspective and inspective (observable) data. I found particularly rewarding the discussion and case histories illustrating the therapeutic use made of countertransference, often more direct and intense in couple therapy.
