Summary: The Wisdom of Vaillant
Comment: George Vaillant has put a life time of work into a 375 page book. It allows the reader to delve into the wonders of the psychoanalytical world. With a constant review of three cohorts he goes onto explain and give thorough examples of his theories. Despite the inconsistencies of the book and the constant contradictions, Vaillant is able to prove his point. The human psych is unstable and dependant on a level of maturity and development of the Ego.

Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent look at a very hackneyed subject
Comment: This book is used as a basic text for an Abnormal Psychology class at Harvard. It is an easy read, very interesting and filled with information that makes sense.

It takes a very humanizing view to Freud's defenses and shows how that be thought of as good things.
