Harry Guntrip: A Contemporary Introduction traces Guntrip's early years, his theological and psychological studies, his formation as a psychoanalyst, and his various contributions to pre-Oedipal developmental arrest.

In this concise yet informative volume, Loray Daws takes the reader on a journey into the life and work of the important, yet often overlooked, British psychoanalyst, Harry J.S. Guntrip. Daws looks at how, as a clinical pioneer in the area of conceptualising and treating pre-Oedipal developmental arrest, Guntrip's prolific work has furthered psychoanalysis's understanding of the regressed ego and the schizoid dilemma. From his humble beginnings as a Methodist minister to his groundbreaking contributions on the theory of Object Relations, Daws provides insight into the profound impact of Guntrip's work on early relationships of the human psyche. Vast in scope and accessible in style, this volume is a much-needed introduction to the vital work of Harry Guntrip and its continued relevance in contemporary practice.

This book is an illuminating read for all practicing analysts, as well as students of psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric nursing, clinical and counseling psychology, psychoanalysis, and those specialising in both conceptual psychoanalysis and the treatment of the disorders of the self.
