Mitchell and Black's condensed history of psychoanalysis was a stimulating read, however, even after reading a short text like Bettelheim's Freud and Man's Soul it is clear that the two authors had a ( I would say) misguided agenda with Freud that made it difficult for me to appreciate their explanations and synthesis of theory. That is, if the premises with which they were starting the investigation were off then the whole enterprise felt dubious.
Very insightful book written from a Freudian perspective on long-term relationships. Highly accessible for all. Very recommended. Mitchell blends his analysis & discussion on his patients very nicely.
