Out of all medical and therapeutic treatments, psychoanalysis
remains one of the very few that uses no physical contact. Sigmund
Freud stopped using the "pressure technique" in the late 1890s, a
technique in which he would press lightly on his patient's head
while insisting that they remember forgotten events. Today, touch
remains virtually non-existent in adult psychoanalysis.For the
first time, this book explores the controversial issue of physical
contact in the consulting room. The contributors--psychoanalysts
and psychotherapists representing a diverse range of psychoanalytic
viewpoints--focus on the unconscious meanings of touch, absence of
touch, unwelcome touch, or "accidental" touch in the psychoanalytic
clinical situation. There are plenty of clinical vignettes and the
discussions are grounded in clinical experience, offering a range
of very different opinions on this much-neglected subject.This is a
book for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and all readers
interested in this issue. Contributors include Brett Kahr, A. H.
Brafman, Camilla Bosanquet, Valerie Sinason, Pearl King, Nicola
Diamond, Em Farrell, Maria Emilia Pozzi, Robert Langs, Nick Totton,
Emma Ramsden, Angela Pryor, Sarita Bose, Sharmila Charles, Gwen
Adshead. With a foreword by Susie Orbach.
