Is psychoanalysis a type of literature? Can telling 'stories' help
us to get at the truth? Psychoanalysis as Therapy and Storytelling
examines psychoanalysis from two perspectives - as a cure for
psychic suffering, and as a series of stories told between patient
and analyst. Antonino Ferro uses numerous clinical examples to
investigate how narration and interpretation are interconnected in
the analytic session. He draws on and develops Bion's theories to
present a novel perspective on subjects, such as: psychoanalysis as
a particular form of literature; sexuality as a narrative genre or
dialect in the analyst's consulting room; delusion and
hallucination; acting out, the countertransference and the
transgenerational field; and play - characters, narrations and
interpretations. Psychoanalytic clinicians and theoreticians alike
will find the innovative approach to the analytic session described
here of great interest.
