Inhaltsangabe

Psychoanalysis is no stranger to evolution, but even for a field as accustomed to transformation as it is, the last several years have seen a profound shift in its practice-not least because of COVID-19 and social and cultural factors.

Whether those changes are permanent remains to be seen, but this third edition of the Textbook of Psychoanalysis addresses them head-on. Its first section includes not only how the pandemic has affected psychoanalysis but also how racial and ethnic tensions, redefined gender and sexual identities, and the effects of climate change have affected both the psychoanalyst and the patient, as well as the relationship between the two.

In subsequent sections, more than 40 contributors bring their expertise to bear as they discuss

- Diverse schools of thought, including object relations theory, self psychology, interpersonal psychoanalysis, and contemporary field theory
- Core concepts, such as the role of the unconscious in psychoanalytic discourse; transference, countertransference, and enactment; and contemporary theories of unrepresented states
- Techniques and approaches that include child analysis, the integration of psychoanalysis and pharmacotherapy, and the place of ethics in psychoanalysis
- Research, including psychoanalytic process research, developmental research, and neuroscience research

This volume's editors, in the Introduction, confess that "none of us can predict the outcome" of the changes that psychoanalysis--and, indeed, society--is facing. But, as another contributor later points out, "psychoanalysis is a profession centrally concerned with what is not known" and, therefore, may have a critical role to play in uncertain, extraordinary times.

With this new edition of the Textbook of Psychoanalysis, readers will have a firm foundation in psychoanalytic thought and practice from which to tackle today's--and tomorrow's--myriad unknowns.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Over the last several years, several factors—COVID-19, an increasingly hyperconnected world, and the effects of climate change—have led to a profound transformation in the practice of psychoanalysis. Whether these changes are temporary or long-lasting, no one knows. This third edition of the Textbook of Psychoanalysis invites readers into that uncertainty, positing that psychoanalysis—a profession concerned with what is not known—may have an important role to play in what can be disorienting times.

This new volume does not shy away from the major issues of the day: it opens with a discussion of the effects of the pandemic, racial and ethnic tensions, redefined gender and sexual identities, and more on both psychoanalysts and patients.

Subsequent chapters delve into foundational knowledge, describing the diverse schools of thought in psychoanalysis, its core concepts, various techniques and approaches to its practice, and the latest research.

What the future holds for psychoanalysis may yet be a mystery, but with the exhaustive information provided in this book, readers will be well positioned to navigate it.
