Reviews
"Dinora Pines’ collection of papers republished now remains as refreshing, moving and profound as when they first came out. […] Her dedication to understand the dilemmas of the women who sought therapy with her, led her to extend the conventions of both psychoanalytic understandings and practice in deeply sensitive and useful ways.[…]Rereading this book brings Dinora and her compassion and intelligence alive once again." – Susie Orbach, From the Foreword
Review of first publication:
"The collection presents a clear and moving picture of a fine clinician's work and thinking." - Nancy Kulish, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly
