In The Violence of Emotions the author marries an ability to
introduce the reader to the intimate climate of an analytic session
with a passionate rereading of Bion. To emphasize both the
empirical nature of psychoanalysis and its extraordinary capacity
to engender illuminating hypotheses concerning the functioning of
the mind, clinical examples alternate with theoretical argument.
The psychoanalytic model espoused by Giuseppe Civitarese in his
approach to both is analytic field theory. Developed by various
authors, including Ferro, commencing with Bion and continued with
contributions from the Barangers, Grotstein and Ogden, the theory
of the analytic field reveals the social nature of subjectivity
and, in clinical work, the intersubjective and dreamlike climate in
which a psychoanalytic session unfolds. This leads to a new way of
interpreting the facts of analysis. As such, topics of discussion
include: transcending the caesura as Bion's theoretical method
hypochondria as de-subjectivation and narrative genre in analysis
the aesthetic conflict and alfa function Bion's search for
ambiguity the casting of characters in the analytic dialogue
metaphor of text and translation in Freud and Bion. Yet the book
has an even more specific objective, focusing attention as it does
on the central importance of emotions in mental life and of
aesthetic experience as the model of what truly happens in
analysis. This is an aspect which the author rediscovers and
explores in the thought of Bion and his successors, and which he
regards as a way of investigating the deepest and most primitive
levels of mental life. This book will be of great interest to
psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists.
