Review Quotes: "Frances Tustin's influence continues to grow, not least thanks to conferences coorganized by the Frances Tustin Memorial Trust. This book, edited by Howard Levine and David Power, expands on papers from the seventh conference in Boston, in which authors of differing orientations address Tustin's contribution to the understanding of childhood autism and primitive states of mind. It will make fascinating reading for psychoanalytic workers with patients of all ages, and for anyone concerned with the foundations of experience."-- (04/28/2017)
