In an era of managed care and quick fixes, the contributors to The Social Work Psychoanalyst's Casebook offer the salutary reminder that analytic work is built on a relationship of respect and empathy and that treatment success follows f "Reading this book could prove dangerous to one's most time-worn ideas. It could impart new clinical insights. It might even provide the same shock of delight it gave me. It is a really perfect homage to Jean Sanville and her freshness of spirit and humanistic concern for other people, their wishes, their fears, and their moral principles. The Social Work Psychoanalyst's Casebook integrates the social and the intrapsychic better than any previous work. This gift to Jean from her students and colleagues is also a gift to every psychoanalyst or psychotherapist who reads it." - Arlene Kramer Richards, Ed.D., Training Analyst, New York Freudian Society "Putting together a book to honor Jean Sanville is an enormous challenge, as it must reflect, at least in some small measure, Dr. Sanville's wonderful warmth, intelligence, and grace. Yet Joyce Edward and Elaine Rose are to be congratulated for assembling a collection of original papers that do indeed weave together the humanity and theoretical sophistication so characteristic of their honoree. Clinicians will find it an ample feast." - Carolyn Saari, Ph.D.,BCD, Professor, School of Social Work, Loyola "The Social Work Psychoanalyst's Casebook is an impressive and fitting tribute to an outstanding member of the pioneering generation of social work psychoanalysts. It is a collection of clinical essays demonstrating the full scope, depth, and diversity of contemporary clinical practice from a combined psychosocial and psychoanalytic perspective, all set into context by Jean Sanville's interview exposition of her path to social worker psychoanalyst and her articulation of the development of her integrated social and psychological (psychoanalytic) framework." - Robert S. Wallerstein, M.D., Past President, American Psychoanalytic Association
