This book presents the concept of the schizoid process: those clients with a fragmented sense of self who struggle with internal criticism, shame, and relational withdrawal. An informative and therapeutically useful work, it is full of ideas to guide an understanding of the schizoid process and of how to engage a client's sense of self. Richard G. Erskine is joined by eight colleagues , Silvia Allari, Leigh Bettles, Dan Eastop, Linda Finlay, Ray Little, Lynn Martin, Marye O'Reilly-Knapp, Eugenio Peiro Orozco, in a thought-provoking work highly recommended to all clinicians.
