The Freudian Metaphor - Toward Paradigm Change in Psychoanalysis (Paperback)

This profound new volume by Donald Spence extends and amplifies his earlier, important, provocative discussion in Narrative Truth and Historical Truth of method and meaning in psychoanalysis. Focusing on metaphor, he provides a powerful examination of the way meaning is created between analyst and patient and between analysts in scholarly discourse. Spence s presentation of a judicial analogy, in which he recommends to psychoanalysts an approach comparable to the legal system s development of benchmark cases with successive commentaries, brings this elegantly written, stimulating book to a most felicitous conclusion.
