Winner of the American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Prize
for best Edited book published in 2016 Psychoanalysis in Italy is a
particularly diverse and vibrant profession, embracing a number of
influences and schools of thought, connecting together new
thinking, and producing theorists and clinicians of global renown.
Reading Italian Psychoanalysis provides a comprehensive guide to
the most important Italian psychoanalytic thinking of recent years,
including work by major names such as Weiss, E.Gaddini, Matte
Blanco, Nissim Momigliano, Canestri, Amati Mehler, and Ferro. It
covers the most important theoretical developments and clinical
advances, with special emphasis on contemporary topics such as
transference, trauma and primitive states of mind where Italian
work has been particular influential. In this volume, Franco
Borgogno, Alberto Luchetti and Luisa Marino Coe of the Italian
Psychoanalytical Society provide an overview of how Italian
psychoanalysis has developed from the 1920's to the present day,
tracing its early influences and highlighting contemporary
developments. Forty-six seminal and representative papers of
psychoanalysts belonging to the two Italian psychoanalytical
societies (the Italian Psychoanalytical Society and the Italian
Association of Psychoanalysis) have been chosen to illuminate what
is special about Italian theoretical and clinical thinking, and
what is demonstrative of the specificity of its psychoanalytic
discourse. The selected papers are preceded by a first introductory
section about the history of psychoanalysis in Italy and followed
by a "swift glance at Italian psychoanalysis from abroad". They are
grouped into sections which represent the areas particularly
explored by Italian psychoanalysis. Each section is accompanied by
introductory comments which summarize the main ideas and concepts
and also their historical and cultural background, so as to offer
to the reader either an orientation and stimulus for the debate and
to indicate their connections to other papers included in the
present volume and to the international psychoanalytic world. The
book is divided into six parts including: History of psychoanalysis
in Italy Metapsychology Clinical practice, theory of technique,
therapeutic factors The person of the analyst, countertransference
and the analytic relationship/field Trauma, psychic pain, mourning
and working-through Preverbal, precocious, fusional, primitive
states of the mind This volume offers an excellent and detailed
"fresco" of Italian psychoanalytic debate, shining a light on
thinking that has evolved differently in France, England, North and
Latin America. It is an ideal book for beginners and advanced
students of clinical theory as well as experienced psychoanalysts
wanting to know more about Italian psychoanalytic theory and
technique, and how they have developed.
