Reviews
'The topic of twin transference is clinically of enormous importance. In this book, the author has successfully put into the centre of psychoanalytic theory and praxis this phenomenon which has been, despite Bion's early eye-opener, chronically neglected and sidelined. I think she deserves full praise for this re-evaluation and re-adjustment. In my eyes, this book is a real achievement and a very important contribution to psychoanalytic theory and praxis.'- Christoph Hering, psychoanalyst, Geneva, and on the Editorial Board of Free Associations'I cannot tell you the enormity of the impact of this work. Nothing before has made such sense of the awful intensity of the twin transference. Thank you for this seminal and transformative piece of work.'- Valerie Sinason, child psychotherapist, and President of the Institute of Psychotherapy and Disability'The book is sure to become a highly regarded classic on a particularly difficult clinical experience.'- Victoria Davenport, psychotherapist, and member of the British Psychotherapy Foundation'There's no doubt the book will long remain at the forefront of psychoanalytic literature on working with twins.'- Harriet Thistlethwaite, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and member of the British Psychoanalytic Council
