First published in 1993, The Inner World Outside has become a classic in its field. Paul Holmes walks the reader through the ‘inner world’ of object relationships and the corresponding ‘outside world’ shared by others in which real relationships exist. Trained as a psychotherapist in both psychoanalytical and psychodramatic methods, Paul Holmes has written a well informed, clear introduction to Object Relations Theory and its relation to psychodrama. He explores the links between the theories of J.L. Moreno, the founder of psychodrama, and Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, and presents a stimulating synthesis. Each chapter opens with an account of part of a psychodrama session which focus on particular aspects of psychodrama or object relations theory illuminating the concepts or techniques using the clinical material from the group to illustrate basic psychoanalytic concepts in action. Published here with a new introduction from the author that links the book’s content to concepts of attachment theory, the book weaves together the very different concepts in an inspiring and comprehensive way that will ensure the book continues to be used by mental health and arts therapies professional, whether in training or practice.

Captain Chase Anderson is a distinguished war veteran, widow, and single mother in charge of Public Affairs at the base in Hawaii. After a Marine-81 helicopter-the very model her husband, Stone, was flying when he crashed in Afghanistan-goes down five miles off the coast of Oahu, Chase begins to suspect a conspiracy to minimize, even hide, the defects within the Marine-81. Despite threats to her career, Chase follows her hunch, and the search for the truth, a search that implicates everyone from Hawaii to the Pentagon, eventually leads her back to the disturbing truth about Stone and their marriage.
