New diversity in psychoanalytic technique offers analysts and
therapists a wide array of treatment options. But many of these
techniques, says Dr. Fred Pine, can be viewed as additions to a
clinician's approach rather than substitutes. Access to more
treatment choices enables the clinician to better meet the multiple
challenges encountered daily in a psychoanalytic practice. Dr. Pine
urges clinicians to be flexible and integrative as they select,
test, and then use or reject diverse treatment techniques, and he
shows how this may be done. He warns that adhering too closely to a
powerful theory of technique can prevent the therapist from doing
the best for the patient.
This book is both a highly personal statement by an experienced
clinician and teacher and a concise discussion of selected issues
that confront the practicing psychoanalyst today. Focusing
specifically on technique, the volume is rich in clinical
reasoning, clinical concepts, and clinical examples. The author
establishes some of the sources of the current diversity in
technique, then illustrates and evaluates some of the many pathways
the clinician may choose. Practicing psychoanalysts and therapists
will find enrichment in the intellectual searchings and open-minded
approach of this valuable book.
"Psychoanalysis needs this kind of fair pluralistic statement to
combat the paradigm warfare that occupies so much of psychoanalytic
writing. This is a serious work and is highly recommended". --
Joseph Reppen, editor of Psychoanalytic Books and Psychoanalytic
Psychology
