Psychoanalysis and Anxiety: From Knowing to Being combines
psychoanalytic, existential and dramaturgical perspectives on the
study of anxiety. The book explores the implications for
psychoanalysis of including a consideration of the being of the
patient, and of the analyst. The central principle throughout is
that the psychoanalytic and the existential belong together since
it is the irreducible fact of anxiety that unifies them. It is in
relation to anxiety that we are helped by other human beings to
bear what is, and what we are. Divided into four sections, the book
begins with the distinction made in antiquity between anxiety and
fear, before discussing its treatment by philosophers such as
Heidegger, who regarded anxiety as the mood most disclosive of our
being, and Kierkegaard, who distinguished between fear and angst.
The book then explores how anxiety has been understood by major
psychoanalytic theorists, including Freud, Klein, Winnicott and
Bion, before a third part discusses how key principles of drama
relate to therapeutic practice and theory, including a
re-evaluation of the concept of catharsis, as well as Brecht's
concept of making strange the familiar. The pursuit of insightful
knowledge in psychoanalysis is reconsidered in the book's
concluding section, with a shift of emphasis from psychoanalytic
interpretations as statements of knowing to interpretive activity
as a continuous process of becoming informed. This insightful and
wide-ranging volume will fascinate practising psychoanalysts and
psychotherapists, anyone working in mental health, as well as
scholars of philosophy and theatre.
