Review: In The Clinical Exchange, Joseph D. Lichtenberg, Frank Lachmann, Frank M. Lachmann, and James I. Fosshageand effectively collaborate to lay out ten principles of technique which guide the clinical exchange within the framework of psychoanalysis and exploratory psychotherapy. The authors illustrate these principles by case example, and explore the successes and failures of treating analyst's interventions alongside their technical guidelines. The Clinical Exchange is a seminal and significant contribution that surveys the full spectrum of technical issues arising in clinical work and an invaluable reference for students and practitioners of psychoanalytic intervention and therapies.
