A Cup of LoveGagandeep Kaur AhluwaliaGod by Rachel Berghash Review "This work is the product of 13 experienced clinicians who are creative thinkers and thought-provoking writers. These thoughtful essays, enriched with clinical material, urge us to deepen our insight into Eigens welcome-obstructive qualities of human relations. It is landmark work for all clinicians from beginning to highly advanced. Read this book to understand how to work with Eigens dualities and intricate ideas." - Professor Aner Govrin, The Program for Hermeneutics & Cultural Studies, Bar-Ilan University, Israel "Keri Cohen and Loray Daws have done an outstanding job editing the book Toxic Nourishment and Damaged Bonds in the Work of Michael Eigen. With a palpable affect and gratitude for Michael, thirteen authors offered their ideas to an experience in depth-reading of his work. The authors express their views in a Language of achievement, which, as Bion (1970) defined it, manages to hold onto uncertainties and mysteries without an irritating search for reasons and truths. Through their contributions, readers will be magically transported and enveloped in Eigens vital work." - Jani Santamaria, child and adult psychoanalyst, Mexican Psychoanalytic AssociationBuilding on the pioneering work of Michael Eigen, this remarkable compendium speaks to the heart of every clinicians internal and external struggle involving the art and science of sustaining a healing encounter, against the severe toxic agents of trauma and mental/relational conflict. The volume boldly extends and reformulates object relations theory, which will both illuminate and challenge todays practitioners. As with the companion volume (Primary Process, Impacts and Dreaming the Undreamable Object in the Work of Michael Eigen, Becoming the Welcoming Object 2024) this work is filled with insight and humanity, written in a highly accessible language that tackles the key therapeutic conundrums that belie traditional psychoanalytic thought and practice. Michael Eigen encourages, through his concept of the evolutionary nature of psychoanalysis, that our psychic work is never quite done. This volume is a testament to that sentiment, and even more, it is an antidote to the stale theorizing about resistance and un-treatability, and with every chapter of exemplary writers, offering a new creative recalibration of what it means to face the most difficult and perplexing questions about the human condition. If there was ever a book for this time, it is this one; anyone who is serious about the field of psychoanalysis should have this on their bookshelf. - Jack Schwartz, PsyD, NCPsyA.
