He explores the application of psychoanalysis to non-clinical fields, including the problem of psychoanalytic research and its clinical implications, the validation of psychoanalytic interventions in the clinical process, and the challenges of psychoanalytic education.

And he asserts the continued relevance of object relations theory and its compatibility with Freud's dual drive theory. |
