Description
With contributions from leading European and Americanpsychoanalysts, this innovative text systematically investigatesand analyses the relationship between clinical practice andpsychoanalytic theories.
It examines clinical practice experience in detail and links itwith the knowledge gained from official theory. To make this typeof analysis of clinical material possible, the team of authors havedevised a grid called The Map. This new instrument detailsthe implicit theories of the analyst at work and can be used ineveryday clinical work and supervisions. These analyses highlightthe divergences and convergences with theory, but also revealoutlines for new models.
Psychoanalysis: From Practice to Theory makes asignificant contribution to the debate about the most importantproblems that psychoanalysis presents. It will be of great value topsychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and students ofpsychoanalysis.
