Filling an important gap in both formulation and treatment, this book completes Freud's self-confessed incomplete theory of aggression through the lens of modern psychoanalysis and neuroscience, updating these concepts with current scientific insights, and introduces a refreshed view on psychotherapeutic treatment implications based on these developments. Perkel explores the treatment of patients experiencing eating disorders, anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders and sexual dysfunction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis invigorating and approachable book will be of interest to all psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and counsellors, and will help readers reach new understandings of this key theory of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrian Perkel\u003c\/b\u003e is a registered practising clinical psychologist based in Cape Town, South Africa.
