She offers deeply personal descriptions of clinical experiences, including with extremely troubled patients, as well concise theoretical explorations culminating in a broadly sketched proposal for a paradigm shift in psychoanalytic theory and technique. [...] Eshel describes how the patient suffers, how the analyst must come to suffer, and so the reader must risk suffering too.
