<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>There couldn't be a more appropriate method for illustrating the dynamics of psychoanalysis than the vehicle of story. In this book, Kerry L. Malawista, Anne J. Adelman, and Catherine L. Anderson share amusing, poignant, and sometimes difficult stories from their personal and professional lives, inviting readers to explore the complex underpinnings of the psychoanalytic profession and its esoteric theories. Through their narratives, these practicing analysts show how to incorporate psychodynamic concepts and identify common truths at the root of shared experience. Their approach demystifies dense material and the emotional consequences of deep clinical work. The book covers psychodynamic theory, the development of ideas, various techniques, the challenges of treatment, and the experiences of trauma and loss. Each section begins with a brief memoir by one of the authors and leads into a discussion of related concepts. Overall the text follows a developmental trajectory, opening with stories from early childhood and concluding with present encounters. The result is a unique approach enabling the absorption of psychodynamic concepts as they unfold across the life span.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A lively pick for any psychology collection at either the general or college level.--Midwest Book Review<br><br><i>Wearing My Tutu to Analysis and Other Stories</i> is both a delightful title and a very useful and well-written book.--Barbara Almond "Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association "<br><br>well-written, informative, and chock-full of wisdom at the same time that it is absolutely delightful and charming.--Martin A.
