Coming from two separate schools of depth psychology (psychoanalytic and Adlerian), the authors provide an overview of the self and how it is conceptualized across the psychotherapies within various theories of personality. In addition to examining some of the philosophical and historical issues surrounding the notion of selfhood, they examine classical and developmental models of psychoanalytic thought that point to the idea of self, touching on the work of Kohut, Adler, and other post-Freudian, Jungian, and post-Jungian thinkers. Brinich teaches psychology and psychiatry at the University of North Carolina. Shelley is co-editor of the British Adlerian Yearbook . The book is distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
