But at the Same Time and on Another Level

This work is a "beginning," a primer to elucidate general principles on how the psychoanalyst or psychoanalytically informed psychotherapist may optimally provide and maintain the setting for the psychoanalysis, listen to and process the analysand's free associations, and ultimately intervene with interpretations principally from the Kleinian/Bionian perspective, including the contemporary London post-Kleinians and today's Kleinians and Bionians elsewhere. Grotstein follows that tradition in respecting the foundational work of Klein's original contributions and demonstrating how they naturally emerge into contemporary (post-) Kleinian and "Bionian" thinking.
