Tihamér Bakó’s book shows that over the one-hundred year history of psychoanalysis, as a condensation of countless observations made during analyses lasting years, a body of knowledge about the working of the human psyche has gathered which can be a tool for help even outside the analyst’s room. Even when the ground quakes beneath our feet, in the psychological sense. When you have read this book, hopefully you will know more not just about a field of psychological research, but also more about yourself. This, after all, is one of the author’s goals.
