Review :
"I can think of no more fitting tribute to Charles Brenner than for a distinguished group of colleagues to have compiled a volume such as this. Surely, it is destined to stand as a landmark of progress and a benchmark of excellence in psychoanalytic scholarship. Following Brenner's wide-ranging interests, it traces a steady maturation and refinement of Freud's legacy. Throughout the volume there is both implicit and explicit acknowledgement of the seminal role of Brenner's own work and thinking in this process. In this way, it establishes and enhances his unique stature as a psychoanalytic leader and standard bearer." - Morton F. Reiser, M.D. "Charles Brenner is one of the great theoreticians and teachers in the present day psychoanalytic world. Although he is often regarded as a conservative theoretician, the collection of essays in this Festschrift is remarkable testimony to the stimulating influence of Brenner's work. This collection of papers makes fascinating reading, and will surely find a place as an essential source book in the field of psychoanalytic theory and practice." - Joseph Sandler, M.D., Ph.D. "This book is a well deserved tribute to one of the finest minds in psychoanalysis. Charles Brenner's teaching and writing have long offered the clearest and most elegant exposition of psychoanalytic theory and practice. His colleagues, among them many of the leading figures in contemporary psychoanalysis, have assembled a rich and rewarding array of clinical and theoretical studies. It will take its place, alongside Brenner's own books, on the shelf of every psychoanalyst." - Robert Michels, M.D. "This volume in honor of Charles Brenner provides an excellent opportunity for surveying what is, in effect, a comprehensive, up-to-date, state-of-the-art presentation of traditional American psychoanalytic ego psychology. Charles Brenner's rigorous efforts to bring clarity and precision to the use of psychoanalytic terminology, to achieve parsimony in theory, have stimulated a generation of American psychoanalysts to follow him in a similar self-critical disciplined approach to their psychoanalytical thinking. His colleagues have produced an outstanding and challenging book. It is not what they say about him, but how what they have to say was inspired by him that constitutes the greatest homage to him." - Otto Kernberg, M.D.
