About Sheldon Bach, PhD:

Sheldon Bach Ph.D. is Adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychology at the New York University Postdoctoral Program for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, a Training and Supervising Analyst at The Contemporary Freudian Society and a Fellow of The Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. He was the Freud Anniversary Lecturer at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York and a recipient of the Heinz Hartmann Award from the New York Psychoanalytic Institute for “outstanding contributions to the theory and practice of Psychoanalysis.”

Advance praise for this book:

I consider this one of the most innovative, creative and thoughtful books I have read for many years. Sheldon Bach is a great analyst, extremely close to the patients’ experience, in real contact with their deep processes and sense of Self, and gifted with both immense humanity and an admirable conceptual clarity and originality.

I strongly recommend this wonderful book which opens new windows; in particular, the script on “Chimerism” is in my opinion an authentic masterpiece, a must-read for all analysts.
—Stefano Bolognini, M.D.
President of the International Psychoanalytical Association

This is one of those rare books that deserve to be called a modern classic. The body of work collected in this volume constitutes a truly creative contribution to psychoanalysis; one that extends, enlarges, and enriches our field.
Theodore J. Jacobs, M.D.
Training and Supervising Analyst, The New York and IPE Psychoanalytic Institutes
