Using Winnicott's classic paper as its starting point, this
fascinating collection explores a range of clinical and theoretical
psychoanalytic perspectives around relating to "the object." Each
author approaches the topic from a different angle, switching among
the patient's use of others in their internal and external lives,
their use of their therapist, and the therapist's own use of their
patients. The use of objects is susceptible to wide interpretation
and elaboration; it is both a normal phenomenon and a marker for
certain personal difficulties, or even psychopathologies, seen in
clinical practice. While it is normal for people to relate to
others through the lens of their internal objects in ways that give
added meaning to aspects of their lives, it becomes problematic
when people live as if devoid of a self and instead live almost
exclusively through the others who form their internal worlds,
often leading them to feel that they cannot be happy until and
unless others change. Assessing the significance of objects among
adult and child patients, groups and the group-as-object, and
exploring Freud's own use of objects, The Use of the Object in
Psychoanalysis will be of significant interest both to experienced
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists and to trainees exploring
important theoretical questions.
