| DESCRIPTION: This is uniquely authoritative
and intimate psychobiography of a psychoanalyst by another who was pupil,
colleague and friend for over 35 years. Fairbairn was one of the founders
of the "object relations" approach to psychoanalysis, which bases personality
development on the experience of the infant in its early relationships
within the family, rather than on great instinctual forces, the classical
freudian view.
Sutherland has drawn on his own knowledge of Fairbairn and on important private documents to bring about a close integration of Fairnbairn's life and ideas, on the one hand, and his fraught inner world and the symptoms on the other. it is a moving account, one which sheds important light on the history of psychoanalysis and on the wellsprings of creativity in relation to severe inner turmoil.
