This important volume offers the first introduction to Philip Bromberg and his work, introducing the reader to his groundbreaking contributions to clinical psychoanalysis.

Anthony Bass and Velleda C. Ceccoli draw on their experience as Bromberg’s students, supervisees, colleagues, and friends to outline and elaborate his key ideas and their applications to therapeutic work. Considering Bromberg’s importance in the field of interpersonal and relational psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, they draw on his theories of dissociation, enactment, and multiplicity to show the importance of self-states for both the therapist and patient within a therapeutic setting.

This book will be of great interest to both psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as students in mental health professions and analytic candidates.
