Praise for The Legacy of Sándor Ferenczi:
“This fine collection of essays, written by clinicians and scholars of diverse backgrounds, honors the memory of Sándor Ferenczi, Sigmund Freud’s closest friend and collaborator, whose groundbreaking contributions to the theory and practice of psychoanalysis were scorned and marginalized by many of his contemporaries. The contributors to this volume have adroitly and sensitively demonstrated the relevance of Ferenczi’s ideas to current trends in psychoanalytic thinking and are taking a major step toward restoring his legacy to its rightful place in history.” – Peter T. Hoffer, Ph. D. Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia; Translator,
