An interrogation of the relational turn - A discussion with Stephen Mitchell - Response to Wallerstein (2000)

This commentary indicates that E. Young-Bruehl's (1999) review of R. S. Wal lerstein's (1995) The Talking Cures appreciated the book as a contribution to the history of psychoanalysis while criticizing it as too long and poorl y written. Young-Bruehl then reflects on how important it is for contempora ry historians of psychoanalysis to present developments in psychoanalysis a fter Freud and to do so in prose that can be read by people who are not psy choanalysts, thus connecting the field's history to other disciplines and g eneral readers.
