Abstract

Otto Kernberg has brought psychoanalysis back to its origins, and embraced the English Psychoanalytic school of Fairbairn, Winnecott, Klein, Jacobson and Mahler. The main emphasis is on object relations, and the focus is on the patient'ssubjective experience. Langs has had a considerable impact on psychotherapists. He pulls out exactly what happens in a session in his book, based on tapes of control sessions. His approach, however, violates the therapist's humanity and his feeling for the patient. It reinforces defenses, but dehumanizes the patient.
