Create a flyer for "A Short Introduction to Psychoanalysis"

This is a good introduction to the field of psychoanalysis and will provide students with a basic insight into this theory and practice.

I have recommended this book to Counselling Psychology doctoral students seeking an introductory text to psychodynamic counselling.

This is a very detailed text and even though labelled as an introduction it still requires the reader to have a pre-existing insight to the subject - which my students do not have.

Excellent resource. Good coverage and elegantly written. Offers a good route into the study of psychoanalysis. Highly recommended.

An excellent and concise introduction to psychoanalysis; appropriate for practitioners of all levels

This is an excellent introductory text for students who need a base knowledge in psychoanalysis. It will be particularly useful for the year two undergraduate module Psychology and Social Behaviour where I introduce psychoanalytically informed approaches - Hollway, Jefferson. The writing in relation to Melanie Klien will be a useful support for students and I will be ordering a copy for the library and recommending the text.

A good book for business students who need to gain a quick but solid overview of psychoanalytical frameworks and how they might be applied to the business world.

As the title suggests this text is a very accessible (short), introduction to an oft maligned and misunderstood approach to therapy. This edition is clearly contemporary and in as much of improved usefulness to an already useful text.

By far the most accessible and balanced introduction to Psychoanalysis I have come across. It's not defensive about the critiques of psychoanalysis, and answers these with authority. Highly recommended.

A good introductory text. This is written in an accessible style, which offres a comprehensive coverage of psychoanalysis.

This is an excellent book. It is concise and clear.

A truly magnificant introduction to psychoanalysis. Anyone interested in psychoanalysis should read it at least once if not more.

A very accessible account which engages the reader immediately with interesting vignettes and then draws back to set the scene and contextualise. Thumbnail sketches of key figures put the development in context, and the chapter on different cultural development brings something fresh to the discussion. Also a good chapter on research which is very worthwhile for our students

A comprehensive introduction to psychoanalysis - the case examples help to elucidate complex concepts which are explained in sufficient detail without a loss of meaning

Clear and comprehensive, an excellent introduction to a complex subject will make this an invaluable resource for counselling students.
