Creative Readings: Essays on Seminal Analytic Works (The New Library of Psychoanalysis)

As a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Psychoanalyst (private practice for over 25 years), I have found this volume replete with rich essays on my favorite earlier authors who have contributed in the main to my thinking. I have been remiss in more recent years to read contemporary works and found that Dr. Ogden has only gotten more creative. I was his follower in the early 80's.I recommend this volume to older and new students interested in a depth oriented psychodynamic approach to life's issues.Beautiful and brilliant!

As a Winicottian psychoanalyst, I found this book to be a clearly summarized view of many theories, many of which are very dense reading. Thomas Ogden has again written a book that will be read and known for many decades to come. I highly recommend this book.

This book makes the classics accessible. It's a pleasure to read. Recommended highly for students and experienced clinicians or anyone with an interest in psychoanalysis.

Ogden has become a preeminently important author in the constant flux of analytic contributions as his clarity and clinical relevance shine through with each comment he writes.

Outstanding book.....wonderfully well written and easy to read. There's no jargon or cant on any page. I highly recommend this for anyone in interested in psychoanalysis or the human psyche.

Excellent readings of psychoanalytical classics

Very good

this is my second most liked book by TH Ogden, after "the primitive edge". Above all I like the readings about Loewald, Fairbairn and Winnicott. A nice Appetizer to delf into the orignal work of the mentioned authors. Thank you Mr. Ogden!
