by Thomas H. Ogden
On This Page
Description
This book is concerned with the primitive edge of human experience. It explores the idea that human experience is the product of the dialectical interplay of three modes of generating experience: the depressive, the paranoid-schizoid, and the autistic-contiguous.Tags

Ogden writes with precision yet I still found my head swimming as I tried to navigate his collection on the different modes of perceptual experience in this collection of essays. As my foray into object relations begins Ogden is a worthy guide who succinctly reflects on the work of Klein and others, and extends a welcoming hand to the budding therapist.
