YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW

HANNA SEGAL, distinguished senior member and former President of the British Psychoanalytical Society

Edited and Introduced by NICOLA ABEL HIRSCH

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow presents a selection of papers written by Hanna Segal. The collection introduces the reader to a wide spectrum of insights into psychoanalysis, ranging from current thoughts on the nature of dreaming to the psychotic factors, symbolic significance and psychological impact of the events of September the 11th, and the following war on Iraq. The development of Kleinian thought, and ideas of Bion and Freud are also discussed.

The second half of the book discusses Segal’s presentations to conferences and symposia from 1969 – 2000, this material is split into six distinct sections:

·    models of the mind and mental processes

·    psychoanalytic technique

·    Segal on Klein

·    Segal on Bion
·    envy and narcissism

·    interviews.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow  is a welcome contribution to the field, and will be of interest to anyone interested in psychoanalysis, particularly those acquainted with Hanna Segal’s previous work.
