The New Analyst's Guide to the Galaxy: Questions about Contemporary Psychoanalysis

<P>This book consists of a dialogue between a young psychoanalyst, and a renowned teaching analyst. It touches upon many of the key areas of contemporary psychoanalysis: setting, technique, theory, as well as post-Bionian models and the 'BFT' - the famous Bionian Field Theory devised by the author. Using a friendly informal style, the authors challenge the certainties of orthodoxy, leading the discourse toward the unknown and the as yet undiscovered. Both young and experienced analysts will find not only practical advice in this book, but also challenges to their own theoretical and emotional assumptions in the unexplored, ever-changing encounter with the patient. Reading this guide is guaranteed to make them reassess their working methods.</P>
