Summary

This edited volume addresses the critical psychoanalytic issue of effective listening. This issue has been discussed widely in the literature but most often from the standpoint of technique. iListening to Othersi is among the first texts to consider the listening process from the so-called two-person perspective--i.e., that which is aligned with intersubjective, interpersonal, and relational theories.
