Bringing a fresh contemporary Freudian view to a number of current
issues in psychoanalysis, this book is about a psychoanalytic
method that has been evolved by Fred Busch over the past 40 years
called Creating a Psychoanalytic Mind. It is based on the essential
curative process basic to most psychoanalytic theories - the need
for a shift in the patient's relationship with their own mind.
Busch shows that with the development of a psychoanalytic mind the
patient can acquire the capacity to shift the inevitability of
action to the possibility of reflection. Creating a Psychoanalytic
Mind is derived from an increasing clarification of how the mind
works that has led to certain paradigm changes in the
psychoanalytic method. While the methods of understanding the human
condition have evolved since Freud, the means of bringing this
understanding to patients in a way that is meaningful have not
always followed. Throughout, Fred Busch illustrates that while the
analyst's expertise is crucial to the process, the analyst's
stance, rather than mainly being an expert in the content of the
patient's mind, is primarily one of helping the patient to find his
own mind. Creating a Psychoanalytic Mind will appeal to
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in learning a theory
and technique where psychoanalytic meaning and meaningfulness are
integrated. It will enable professionals to work differently and
more successfully with their patients.
