They have digested Kohut's work, made it their own, and through their clinical examples, sensitively bring their readers step by step inside their clinical experiences. (Dr. Empathic Attunement carefully leads the reader from the earliest of Kohut's observations through the newly developing theory and into detailed case reports. They are as empathic with their readers as they are with their patientsa most felicitous combination. They share this in an open, sound, and pedagogically appealing fashion. This is a book that will appeal to beginners and to experienced practitioners alike. It can be recommended to all. In an admirably self-revealing manner that does not hide countertransferences, the authors invite the reader to learn by empathic participation. Paul Ornstein,
