Jeffrey Seinfeld

American psychoanalyst and clinical social worker (NYU). Specialist in object relations theory (Fairbairn/Winnicott tradition) applied to work with schizoid patients and severe personality disorders. Occupies a peculiar position: too clinical for academics, too psychoanalytic for mainstream social work, too Fairbairnian for Kleinians, and too schizoid for neurotypicals. His books — on inner emptiness and attachment to bad objects — rarely appear on official reading lists; readers find them only when searching for something very specific. A book about invisibility that is itself invisible.
