Best known for his contributions to the development of
contemporary intersubjectivity theory, Bernard Brandchaft has
dedicated a career to the advancement of psychoanalytic theory and
practice. Continually searching for a theoretical viewpoint that
would satisfactorily explain the clinical phenomena he was
encountering, his curiosity eventually led him to the work of Heinz
Kohut and the then-emerging school of self psychology. However,
seemingly always one step ahead of the crowd, Brandchaft constantly
reformulated his ideas about and investigations into the
intersubjective nature of human experiences.
Many of the chapters in this volume have never before been
published. Together, they articulate the evolution of Brandchaft's
thinking along the road toward an emancipatory psychoanalysis.
Moreover, commentary from Shelley Doctors and Dorienne Sorter in
addition to Bernard Brandchaft himself examines the clinical
implications of the theoretical shifts that he advocated and
provides a contemporary context for the case material and
conclusions each paper presents. These theoretical shifts, both
clear and subtle, are thereby elucidated to form the grand
narrative of a truly visionary psychoanalytic thinker.
