Description
Initiating Psychoanalysis presents an international collection of papers brought together by the Working Party on Initiating Psychoanalysis of the European Psychoanalytic Federation and addresses the specific clinical and technical issues involved in launching the processes that are at the core of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic treatment.
Expert contributors provide introductions and commentaries on a selection of psychoanalytic papers, including one by Freud himself, which refer to beginning psychoanalytic treatment in a wide range of settings. Divided into four main sections, areas of discussion include:
historical and conceptual developments in the field
practical, technical and ethical considerations
unconscious transference and counter-transference dynamics of initial interviews
internal factors that can help or hinder psychoanalysts in their work to initiate psychoanalysis.
This book will be helpful to all psychoanalytical practitioners in thinking about their work in first interviews with prospective patients, as well as psychoanalysts and psychotherapists at all levels of experience, who will be able to use this book to enrich their own practice.

Reviews / Votes
"This thoughtful book reminded me how difficult it can be to listen fairly and objectively to our colleagues' clinical material, particularly so when it concerns a first interview. [...] I congratulate the editors of this book for offering us a thoughtful, searching and important publication." - Anne-Marie Sandler, From the ForewordMore details
