Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Between Identity and Change reconsiders psychoanalytic psychotherapy for contemporary contexts.
This book stems from several years-long study and research pathway and intends to offer pragmatic and innovative working tools. The contributors approach psychoanalytic psychotherapy as its own practice with distinctive features and benefits to patients. Each chapter considers the history of the field as well as today’s social and cultural context, presenting innovative approaches based on each author’s clinical experience. A range of settings and applications, including online therapy, artistic expression, and psychotherapy with personality disorders, are explored.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Between Identity and Change will be of interest to psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychoanalysts in practice and in training.
Reviews and Endorsements
The editors of this remarkable book have forged their ideas and concepts with an assembled group of inspired and engaging authors. Their contributions are rooted in clinical work and deep theoretical understanding. This book is not only a blueprint for clinicians and students alike, but will stand as a reference in defining the discussion of the identity of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, present and future.
Hansjorg Messner M.A, EFPP board member, BPC and senior BPF member
A multi-voiced, well-articulated book, with diverse theoretical and clinical approaches but with the common denominator of the specific methodological training of Freudian psychoanalysis in its various forms and the passion for good work. In a dynamic balance between attention to the confusing inconveniences of the civilisation of our times and a firm basic trust in our basic paradigms, it offers a testimony and a point of reference for teaching activity and daily clinical practice as well as for a broader vision on the ethical role of a talking therapy in today's society.
Simona Argentieri, Psychiatrist, Psychoanalyst, Member of Associazione Italiana di Psicoanalisi
This book focuses on the development of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy from a contemporary scientific and cultural perspective. The authors, rather than look once again how to differentiate those above, they moved their attention on the new and stimulating contributions on the psychotherapeutic theory and technique. Change and Identity are the key words leading the reader through a fascinating journey inside the clinical practice.
Cristina Călărășanu, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, EFPP Vice President and Chair of the Couple and Family Section
