In the emphasis upon the formative impact of the parent's attitudes and behaviors, it is often overlooked that a growing child draws psychic sustenence from other sources as well. Prominent among these are maids, nannies, grandparents, siblings, school teachers, childhood chums, and adolscent peers. Later as an adult, professional mentors, lovers, spouses, in-laws, and even one's children help consolidate, rework, and refine the intrapsychic world. Beside Parents elucidates these life giving and life sustaining relational scenarios and their subtle or not so subtle transferential re-creations in the clinical situation. A unique book about an under examined topic.
