"In this important new book, Mizen and Morris critically review and synthesize current and classical psychoanalytic literature in the field and, drawing on their own practice, look at aggression and violence as they play out in the consulting room, at violence against the self and at the relationships between sex and violence. With its clear clinical focus and emphasis on issues of managing violence in therapy in a range of settings, this book will be essential reading for practitioners and trainees in counselling, psychotherapy, forensic psychology and the other mental health professions."--Jacket.
