This book makes an original contribution to the study of the psychoanalytic process from a relational point of view, and at the same time serves as a textbook on the theory of technique. It provides a general exposition of the theory of psychoanalytic practice from a process perspective that emphasizes the analytic relationship, the dyadic nature of the psychoanalytic situation, and the impact of unconscious interaction between its two parties, and also includes the author´s personal point of view and contributions on the subject. "Theory of Psychoanalytical Practice: A Relational Process Approach is a wonderful tour de force, a journey through the main phases and specific aspects of the psychoanalytic method of treatment. The reader — either a seasoned analyst or a student of this impossible profession — can thus follow this path, under the experienced and elegant guidance of Juan Tubert-Oklander, one of the most distinguished Latin American analysts of our time, who takes advantage of his long practice and teaching skills in order to offer in this book a comprehensive account of the main contributions to the field, including his own views, but always through his ability to see, listen, feel, and write in both a sensitive and precise way. A book to be read over and over again." - Cláudio Laks Eizirik, Former President , International Psychoanalytical Association Contents: PSYCHOANALYTIC IDEAS AND APPLICATIONS SERIES, IPA Publications Committee ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR PROLOGUE CHAPTER ONE: Introduction CHAPTER TWO: The psychoanalytic situation CHAPTER THREE: The analytic attitude CHAPTER FOUR: The context of analysis CHAPTER FIVE: The substratum of analysis CHAPTER SIX: The analytic field CHAPTER SEVEN: The analytic process CHAPTER EIGHT: The dimensions of the process CHAPTER NINE: Interpretation, insight, and working through CHAPTER TEN: The evolution of the analytic process (1): the beginning and the middle CHAPTER ELEVEN: The evolution of the analytic process (2): the end CHAPTER TWELVE: The healing process REFERENCES INDEX |
