Psychoanalytic therapy is distinguished by its immersion in the
world of the experiencing subject. In The Psychoanalytic Vision,
Frank Summers argues that analytic therapy and its unique
epistemology is a worldview that stands in clear opposition to the
hegemonic cultural value system of objectification, quantification,
and materialism. The Psychoanalytic Vision situates psychoanalysis
as a voice of the rebel, affirming the importance of the subjective
in contrast to the culture of objectification. Founded on
phenomenological philosophy from which it derives its unique
epistemology and ethical grounding, psychoanalytic therapy as a
hermeneutic of the experiential world has no role for reified
concepts. Consequently, fundamental analytic concepts such as "the
unconscious" and "the intrapsychic," are reconceptualized to
eliminate reifying elements. The essence of The Psychoanalytic
Vision is the freshness of its theoretical and clinical approach as
a hermeneutic of the experiential world. Fundamental clinical
phenomena, such as dreams, time, and the experience of the other,
are reformulated, and these theoretical shifts are illustrated with
a variety of vivid case descriptions. The last part of the book is
devoted to the surreptitious role beliefs and values of
contemporary culture play in many forms of psychopathology. For
clinicians, The Psychoanalytic Vision offers a fresh clinical
theory based on the consistent application of the subjectification
of human experience, and for scholars, a worldview that provides
the framework for a potentially fruitful cross-fertilization of
ideas with cognate disciplines.
