Foreword from Dr. Perry: In psychoanalytic jargon, we refer to people as objects. As Dr. Schwartz, our guest expert, describes, sometimes people are objects—or at least they are manipulated by patients as if they were. Dr. Schwartz outlines the treatment of a patient with kleptomania and bulimia by psychoanalytic therapy.
