ABSTRACT

Dr. Quinones presents a startling case describing a treatment of an adult child whose father murdered his mother. This highly ambitious paper is doing more than the title of her chapter conveys. She gives us a sense of how interpersonal theory works best, i.e., when it employs a perspectivist epistemological position. She also sees herself as an integrator (“I attempt to hold both the primary tenets of classical psychoanalysis with those of relational psychoanalysis”).
