The Empty Couch is an introduction to the challenges and obstacles
inherent in ageing as a psychoanalyst. It addresses the previously
neglected issue of ill health, as well as the significance of
ageing for psychoanalysts, exploring the analyst's attitude towards
getting older, impermanence and sense of time and space. Covering a
wide range of topics Gabriele Junkers brings together expert
contributors who discuss the problems of getting physically ill and
how to conduct psychoanalysis as an ill therapist. Chapters also
address the effects that ageing has on professional stamina, the
grief inevitably caused by the losses endured in later life and
inquires into the role that institutions (the relevant
psychoanalytic institutes or societies) can play in this context.
Setting out to encourage discussion on this vital topic, The Empty
Couch brings this neglected area into sharp focus. It will be of
interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors,
gerontologists and trainees in the psychoanalytic and psychotherapy
worlds.
