Book excerpt: A noted theoretician and clinician provides a synthesis of the four conceptual domains of psychoanalysis: drive, ego functioning, object relations, and self experience. Pine demonstrates how a focus on the clinical phenomena themselves, and not on the theoretical edifices around them, readily illuminates the inevitable integration of the several sets of phenomena in each person's psychological organization.
