Clinicians with a deep psychoanalytic understanding of our vulnerabilities, fears and hopes are well suited to participate in the care of our body. This book brings together contributions from caregivers who have dedicated themselves to deeply knowing their patients, from prenatal care, pediatrics, oncology, and palliative care. The chapters are rich with moving clinical vignettes　that demonstrate both the power and gracefulness of dynamic listening and insight.

This book will be valuable reading for psychoanalysts as well as practitioners and students in medicine, psychology, and the social work disciplines.
