Doubt, Conviction and the Analytic Process: Selected Papers of Michael Feldman

Abstract

This book is edited by Betty Joseph and contains 10 previously published papers and 3 papers that are published first in this volume. The articles span Feldman's work from 1989 to the present. Feldman, whose mentors include Rosenfeld, Segal, and Joseph, became an analyst in London during a time of lively debate and creative thinking. Some essays, like "The Oedipus Complex: Manifestations in the Inner World and the Therapeutic Situation," first published in 1989, have been widely read. The two papers that give the collections its title, "Filled with Doubt" and "The Problem of Conviction in the Session," are new.
