This extraordinary volume offers a sampling of Lewis Aron's most
important contributions to relational psychoanalysis. One of the
founders of relational thinking, Aron was an internationally
recognized psychoanalyst, sought after teacher, lecturer, and the
Director of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in
Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. His pioneering work introduced
and revolutionized the concepts of mutuality, the analyst's
subjectivity, and the paradigm of mutual vulnerability in the
analytic setting. During the last few years of his life, Aron was
exploring the ethical considerations of writing psychoanalytic case
histories and the importance of self-reflection and skepticism not
only for analysts with their patients, but also as a stance towards
the field of psychoanalysis itself. Aron is known for his singular,
highly compelling teaching and writing style and for an
unparalleled ability to convey complex, often comparative
theoretical concepts in a uniquely inviting and approachable way.
The reader will encounter both seminal papers on the vision and
method of contemporary clinical practice, as well as cutting edge
newer writing from the years just before his death. Edited and with
a foreword by Galit Atlas, each chapter is preceded by a new
introduction by some of the most important thinkers in our field:
Jessica Benjamin, Michael Eigen, Jay Greenberg, Adrienne Harris,
Stephen Hartman, Steven Kuchuck, Thomas Ogden, Joyce Slochower,
Donnel Stern, Merav Roth, Chana Ullman, and Aron himself. This book
will make an important addition to the libraries of experienced
clinicians and psychoanalytic scholars already familiar with Aron's
work, as well as students, newer professionals or anyone seeking an
introduction to relational psychoanalysis and one of its most
stunning, vibrant voices.
