Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis book will surely add numbers to those newly convinced of the intersubjective nature of human experience, and help those of us already convinced to use our conviction more consistently and pervasively in our work. -- Judy Teicholz
This is a new and unpretentious voice in psychoanalysis, a voice that is clear, explicit, and nearly jargon-free. Such a voice can only arrive and become usable by someone who has learned, personally and professionally, not to run away from the possibility and probability of suffering in any human relationship that will count for anything. In any case his personal tone embodies his courageous refusal to hide from the perils we encounter in the analytic journey: perils like awareness of our vulnerabilities, like shame, even like the fragmentation and self-loss that we sometimes call psychosis. -- Donna M. Orange, Ph.D., Psy.D.
The author shows great sensitivity in his clinical approach guided by the effort to understand the experience of the other within the relational field of mutual interaction and influence paired with his profound knowledge of contemporary psychoanalytic theory. this makes this book worthwhile reading for both the beginning as well as the experienced clinician. -- Martin Gossman, M.D., lecturer, supervisor, and training therapist, the Brandenberg Academy for Depth Psychology and Analytic Psychotherapy, Cottbus,
