Reviews

Like a sculptor who can see the form hidden within the block of stone, Sheldon Bach—most recently in his third book on narcissism, Getting from Here to There: Analytic Love, Analytic Process — opens our eyes to the underlying structure and dynamics of narcissistic disorders. Bach’s observations and formulations are presented in an accessible, engaging and deceptively simple way, but they reflect precision of observation, clarity and sophistication of thought, deep empathy for patients, and genuine clinical wisdom. Indeed, Bach’s formulations are closely grounded in clinical observation. He is clearly gifted as a healer, scientist, and teacher.
