Bringing relational psychoanalysis into conversation with Jungian and transpersonal debates, the text demonstrates the importance of questioning an implicit reliance on secular norms in the field. With reference to recognition theory and shifting conceptions of enactment, Brown shows that the continued evolution of relational thinking necessitates an embrace of the transpersonal and a move away from the secular viewpoint in analytic theory and practice.
With an outlook at the intersection of intrapsychic and intersubjective perspectives, Groundwork for a Transpersonal Psychoanalysis will be a valuable resource to analysts looking to incorporate a more pluralistic approach to clinical work.

"In this timely and insightful volume, Robin Brown offers an invitation to re-introduce spirituality into psychoanalytic theory and treatment. Crossing the artificial divide left by the falling-out between Freud and Jung, Brown eruditely argues for the important recognition of the transpersonal aspects of the unconscious that underpin insight-oriented psychotherapies. Groundwork for a Transpersonal Psychoanalysis is an important text for all psychotherapists committed to a deeper understanding of the human struggle."Marilyn Charles, Ph.D., Austen Riggs Center and University of Monterrey
"If you are already interested in the relationship of spirituality and psychoanalysis (in particular, Jungian and relational psychoanalysis), you will want not only to read this book, but also to study it carefully. You will want to keep it ready to hand. And if you are someone for whom psychoanalysis and spirituality don't usually mix, consider giving this book your serious attention, anyway. It is strong, thoughtful, and original; it is lucid about difficult matters; and its scholarship is deep and thorough. Brown doesn't settle for well-worn paths. He thinks through every issue for himself, and that makes it well worth going with him."

"Brown's Groundwork for a Transpersonal Psychoanalysis explains how developments in contemporary psychoanalysis might be extended beyond current limits if re-examined from a spiritual perspective. Brown identifies ideas from Jung's work that can add spiritual meaning to recent themes in relational psychoanalysis. He also suggests how both relational psychoanalysis and Jungian psychology might be brought into focus by transpersonal theory, especially participatory thinking, which stresses the co-created and irreducibly pluralistic character of spirituality. This important book brings contemporary psychoanalysis, Jungian psychology, and transpersonal theory into mutually beneficial engagement."

"Robin Brown's Groundwork for a Transpersonal Psychoanalysis masterfully lays out the need for a transpersonal dimension in relational psychoanalysis, while at the same time building a bridge between contemporary psychoanalysis and analytical psychology. Written in an articulate, well-referenced, and insightful manner, Brown's text has far-reaching implications for relational thinking. His argument is also carefully grounded in clinical examples. The volume is a cutting edge, thought provoking 'must' read for psychoanalytic scholars and psychoanalytic practitioners of all theoretical orientations."

""(Brown) turns to clinical practice to show how a panpsychic approach is better than a dualistic one. It offers: a less pathologizing and more empowering approach to clinical work; upholding transitional space; a more meaningful approach to trauma; working with the material at hand; attunement to the analytic process; maintaining focus on the patient; deepening engagement in relationship; and grounding overwhelming experiences. Brown notes the different analytic focus found in British and American approaches and argues his panpsychic approach holds the politcal and the personal together in creative contact."
