Description
The first of the three Analytic Press books in which Stolorow and Atwood (later with the collaboration of Bernard Brandchaft) reformulate psychoanalysis as a science of human intersubjectivity. Here the authors explore the "structures of subjectivity" that organize the subjective world, focusing on intersubjectivity in development, in pathogenesis, and in the therapeutic situation.
Reviews / Votes
"I found the book thought-provoking, stimulating, and well-written. The authors have great respect for the process of the clinical situation and the need to develop theories which conform to direct experiences with patients. The concepts they discuss represent an advance in the level of scientific discourse. All practicing psychoanalysts will be involved in the continuing dialogue about analytic theory, and this book provides a thoughtful contribution to this process."- Jeffrey Trop, M.D., Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Bulletin
"In short, this is an immensely valuable book not only because it is so astute at what it succeeds at, but also because its theorizing serves a profoundly heuristic function. I am unreserved in my endorsement of this volume, particularly so for group therapists who work with the interstices of multiple subjectivities."
