Integrated Ego Psychology: Second Edition

It ong>ofong>fers by far ong>theong> most elaborate picture ong>ofong> ong>theong> adaptive apparatus and ong>ofong> ong>theong> varied devices humans have for negotiating among ong>theong>ir drives and ong>theong>ir life situations. More than any oong>theong>r ong>theong>ory ong>ofong> ong>psychologyong>, it emphasizes ong>theong> complicated transactions that go on in peopleas minds, ong>ofong> which many are outside conscious awareness. Norman A. Polansky argues that we must be disciplined enough to commit ourselves to one consistent line ong>ofong> ong>theong>ory if we are to harness ong>reasoningong> to go beyond what we can directly observe.

Psychoanalytic ong>theong>ory has envolved for about a century, and some "grand simplicities" have finally emerged. This book, for practitioners, indicates ong>theong> need for a ong>theong>ory to guide work if we are to help people effectively. ong>Theong> ong>theong>ory must be elaborate enough to cover a very wide range ong>ofong> human activity and it must meet certain oong>theong>r standards as well.
