In Individuality, the Impossible Project, Strenger emerges as a unique voice in blending psychoanalytic and existentialist thought in his courageous investigation of processes of self creation. His portraits of patients are unusually vivid. his therapeutic presence is humane, and his conceptualization original. He extends the range of psychoanalytic understanding into as yet uncharted territory, by exploring what it means to be an individual at the end of the twentieth century." -- Joseph Sandler.
