On Coming into Possession of Oneself: Transformations of the Interpersonal Field is Donnel B. Stern’s fifth authored book, and his latest contribution to the kind of understanding of psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic process offered by field theory. Stern’s book is essential for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists wishing to understand how the analyst’s interventions grow from the analyst’s emotional involvement in the clinical process. This presentation will begin with an overview of the book’s contents, followed by a question and answer segment with the audience, and then a presentation of one of the book’s clinical chapters, again followed by Q and A.
