Introduction / Riccardo Steiner -- Ch. 1. Formulations on the two principles of mental functioning / Sigmund Freud -- Ch. 2.

Review: "In this new collection, the concept of unconscious phantasy is debated and examined by such luminaries as Joseph and Anne-Marie Sandler, Mark Solms, Jean Laplanche, J.-B. Pontalis, Susan Isaacs and Hanna Segal. The collection starts with Sigmund Freud's seminal paper "Formulations on the two principles of mental functioning". The inherent difficulties in translating Freud's work have contributed to the conflicting interpretations that are illustrated so well in the following articles. By collecting together the diverse opinions of Freudians, Kleinians and neuroscientists, among others, on unconscious phantasy, Riccardo Steiner has created a fresh elucidation of this subject."--BOOK JACKET.
