Textbook of Psychoanalysis
Description
Over the last several years, several factors-COVID-19, an increasingly hyperconnected world, and the effects of climate change-have led to a profound transformation in the practice of psychoanalysis. Whether these changes are temporary or long-lasting, no one knows. This third edition of the Textbook of Psychoanalysis invites readers into that uncertainty, positing that psychoanalysis-a profession concerned with what is not known-may have an important role to play in what can be disorienting times.
This new volume does not shy away from the major issues of the day: it opens with a discussion of the effects of the pandemic, racial and ethnic tensions, redefined gender and sexual identities, and more on both psychoanalysts and patients.
Subsequent chapters delve into foundational knowledge, describing the diverse schools of thought in psychoanalysis, its core concepts, various techniques and approaches to its practice, and the latest research.
What the future holds for psychoanalysis may yet be a mystery, but with the exhaustive information provided in this book, readers will be well positioned to navigate it.
