Robert Langs

Death Anxiety and Clinical Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Robert Langs argues that death anxiety is neglected - in part, because of treatment failures due to countertransference interferences during treatment. He then discusses the technical issues connected with this, whilst introducing the controversial concept that mental activities are derived from immune system activities.
