What happens when the outside world enters the psychoanalytic
space? In "The Rupture of Serenity: External Intrusions and
Psychoanalytic Technique," Aisha Abbasi draws on clinical material
to describe some of the dilemmas she has encountered in her work
with patients when external factors have entered the treatment
frame. She considers analytic dilemmas that range from how to deal
with patients unusual requests regarding the conduct of an analytic
treatment to the question of how to handle events in the analyst s
personal life that, by necessity, must be addressed in the
analysis. As a Muslim of Pakistani origin, Abbasi is also able to
discuss, frankly and with compassion, the role that ethnic and
religious differences between patient and analyst can play in
treatment differences that, in the aftermath of 9/11 and the search
for and killing of Osama bin Laden, became a palpable presence in
her consulting room. Abbasi also explores the deeper meanings of
waiting-room interactions and how analysts can view the entrance of
the iWorld into the psychoanalytic space: not as an unwelcome third
party, but as a tool with great potential. Abbasi shares with us
her inner struggles to understand and to keep working analytically.
She acknowledges that her ability to do so can be strained when
external events give rise to internal destabilization within her.
She believes that this type of unexpected internal destabilization
within the analyst is not only human and unavoidable, but also
necessary and, frequently, therapeutic. The book is deeply rooted
in existing analytic literature and will be a useful resource for
clinicians at all levels of education and practice. At the same
time, it is written without technical jargon, so that the clinical
material that forms the backbone of each chapter will be easily
accessible to nonclinicians as well who will find it to be a moving
and lively account of what goes on in a psychoanalyst s consulting
room."
