Produktbeschreibung
British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition is a new and extended edition of The British School of Psychoanalysis: The Independent Tradition, which explored the successes and failures of the early environment; transference and counter-transference in the psychoanalytic encounter; regression in the situation of treatment; and female sexuality. Published in the mid-1980s, it had an important influence on the development of psychoanalysis both in Great Britain and abroad, was translated into several languages and became a central textbook in academic and professional courses.

This new, updated book includes not only many of the original papers, but also new chapters written for this volume by Hannah Browne, Josh Cohen, Steven Groarke, Gregorio Kohon, Rosine Perelberg and Megan Virtue. Addressing and reflecting on the four main themes of the first collection, the new papers discuss such subjects as:

· a new focus on earliestinfancy

· new directions in Independent clinical thinking

· the question of therapeutic regression

. the centrality of sexual difference in Freud.

They also highlight the connections between and the mutual influence of British and French psychoanalysis, now a critical subject in contemporary psychoanalytic debates.

British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition will be important not only to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists and the full spectrum of professionals involved in mental health. It will be of great value in psychotherapy and counselling training and an important resource for teaching and academic activities.

Rezensionen
"With characteristic intellectual rigour, literary elegance and generosity, Kohon presents a new version of his influential book on the Independent tradition in British psychoanalysis. He has invited contemporary psychoanalysts to reflect upon the main themes of the earlier work. Situating the book within psychoanalysis' engagement with temporality and the concept of Nactraglikheit, the link is made with the essential papers from the rich clinical and theoretical Independent tradition whilst reconsidering them within a contemporary focus, particularly the developments in French psychoanalysis. The result is a finely woven and deeply relevant synthesis of past and present. Kohon writes of the 'greedy intellectual curiosity' central to psychoanalysis; his book is a beautiful example of that curiosity."-Rosemary Davies, Training Analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society.

"In this sparkling contribution, Kohon has curated a collection of papers inspired by what thirty years ago he identified as the British Independent Tradition. This book is more than a guide to one dialect of the psychoanalytic project. It is, in fact, an impressive renewal of the true meaning of independent thought: an engagement which honours, challenges, and creatively advances a tradition. Each essay pulls its weight. Each reading rewards. Kohon and his colleagues demonstrate that psychoanalytic thinking, writing and practice will remain inventive and compelling as long as the psychoanalytic imagination refuses to compromise its radical challenge to the simplified, the self-serving and the status quo. In this independent spirit lies our replenishment and our renewal."-Jed Sekoff, Training Analyst of the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California.
