This book represents a premier and deeply scholarly contribution to the field of contemporary psychoanalysis. In this collection of selected papers, Dr. Cordelia Schmidt-Hellerau—a distinguished psychoanalyst and prominent member of both the Swiss and Boston psychoanalytic institutes—delivers an innovative and bold advancement of classical Freudian drive theory. The central focus of her academic and clinical work is directed toward metapsychology and redefining the preservation drives, positioned between the life and death drives. Her theoretical formulations and meticulously documented analyses provide radically new tools for clinical listening and patient understanding, which earned this book a place as a finalist for the prestigious American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize. This work is essential reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, students, and practitioners seeking to deepen their knowledge of contemporary metapsychology and its direct application to clinical practice.
