Falling Backwards: An Exploration of Trust and Self-Experience (Norton Professional Books)
Once the basic premise of self psychology - that from birth to death we are utterly dependent on one another for the provision of psychological experiences essential to selfhood - is accepted, the need to trust others and to be trusted by them assumes an essential role in mental life. In this work, Doris Brothers places trust at the very centre of the psychoanalytic endeavour.

An excellent view of the problems associated with trust in self and others. I have been intrigued to see numbers of my own patients continually "re-scripting" their trauma (Brother's term), in the hope that this time they'll 'get it right', to only inevitably get into strife again because they trust the wrong people, or too-late trust themselves. The book is easily readable, even with the technical language of Self Psychology, which may be unfamiliar to some. Patients and therapists alike may need to read it with care, however, as it may open windows about their own pathology that may disturb them.
