Vamik Volkan summarizes his decades of experience as a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, presenting the psychoanalytic technique without focusing on a specific psychoanalytic school. He examines well-known technical concepts, which are subsequently revised, discarded, or updated. Additionally, previously underexplored areas are considered, such as the close connection between ethnic, national, or religious history and the inner world, as well as the role of action in healing.
