The book examines several long-term adult analytic cases, suggesting that a mature personal identity involves not only 'knowing who one is' but also the capacity for empathic identification with the experience of others as separate human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe question of 'having' an identity, or the fear of losing it, is a central concern of individuals, and this volume, which will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists alike, considers these issues by looking at the deepest conflicts around self and identity as they emerge and are relived in the transference relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharon Numa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Fellow of the Institute of Psychoanalysis who has been working as an analyst in private practice for thirty years.
