Psychoanalytic Treatment (Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series)
<EM>Psychoanalytic Treatment: An Intersubjective Approach</EM> fleshes out the implications for psychoanalytic understanding and treatment of adopting a consistently intersubjective perspective. In the course of the study, the intersubjective viewpoint is demonstrated to illuminate a wide array of clinical phenomena, including transference and resistance, conflict formation, therapeutic action, affective and self development, and borderline and psychotic states. As a consequence, the authors demonstrate that an intersubjective approach greatly facilitates empathic access to the patient's subjective world and, in the same measure, greatly enhances the scope and therapeutic effectiveness of psychoanalysis. <EM>Psychoanalytic Treatment </EM>is another step in the ongoing development of intersubjectivity theory, as born out in <EM>Structures of Subjectivity </EM>(1984), <EM>Contexts of Being</EM> (1992), and <EM>Working Intersubjectively </EM>(1997), all published by the Analytic Press
