In Making Freud More Freudian, Rothstein undertakes the crucial task that psychoanalysts have tended to avoid, to the detriment of the field. He identifies which of Freud's ideas have enduring value, which are in need of revision, and which must be discarded. The motivational concept of compromise formation is the fundamental platform upon which Rothstein builds. His orientation is consistently clinical. Using the work of Brenner and others, as well as his own contributions concerning narcissism, shame and guilt, sadomasochism, diagnosis, and establishing the treatment, Rothstein constructs a guide to successful contemporary analytic practice. As the title of his book indicates, Rothstein has done Freud's legacy a great service.'-Owen Renik, MD, Former Editor-in-Chief, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly --
