Failure is a theme of great importance in most clinical conditions,
and in everyday life, from birth until death. Its impact can be
destabilizing, even disastrous. In spite of these facts, there has
been no comprehensive psychoanalytic exploration of this topic.
Understanding and Coping with Failure: Psychoanalytic Perspectives
fills this gap by examining failure from many perspectives. It goes
a long way toward increasing understanding of the numerous issues
involved, and provides many valuable insights into ways of coping
with these challenging experiences and several chapters discuss
positive aspects of failure - what can be learned from what would
otherwise simply be regrettable experiences. Brent Willock, Rebecca
Coleman Curtis and Lori C. Bohm bring together a rich diversity of
topics explored in thoughtful ways by an international group of
authors from the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States of
America. Failed therapies (which have been examined in the
literature) are but one element freshly explored in this
comprehensive exploration of the topic. The book is divided into
sections covering the following topics: Failing and Forgiving;
Society-Wide Failure; Failure in the Family; Therapeutic Failure;
Professional Failure in the Consulting Room and on the Career Path;
Integrity versus Despair: Facing Failure in the Final Phase of the
Life Cycle; Metaphoric Bridges and Creativity; The Long Shadow of
Childhood Relational Trauma. Understanding and Coping with Failure
will be eagerly welcomed by all those trying to increase their
awareness, understanding, and capacity to work with the many
ramifications of this important issue. Because of the uniqueness of
this broad, detailed exploration of the complexities of the failure
experience, it will be essential reading for psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers,
counselors, and students in these disciplines. It will also appeal
to a wider audience interested in the psychoanalytic perspective.
