In this book Martin S. Livingston displays his skillful deployment of self-psychology in the clinical realms of individual, couple, and group psychotherapy. In the extensive, vivid case examples he sensitively shows how he combines theory and treatment. This is a book by a master of his craft from which I have gained a new perspective on my own work. Clearly written, this will be of value to all psychotherapists who want to grow in their knowledge of self-psychology. -- Malcolm Pines, M.D., former president, International Association of Group Psychotherapy
