Here, for the first time, is a book that submits the psychoanalytic
community and training institute to deep anthropological enquiry.
It expertly uncovers the manifold and often hidden institutional
devices used to transform trainees into professionals. By analysing
the origins of the splits and ructions within the profession, and
by attending closely to what trainees feel, do and think as they
struggle towards professional status, Davies exposes the often
subtle but deeply penetrating effects psychoanalytic training has
upon all who pass through it, and the way these effects come to
structure and direct the community itself. The data illuminating
this ethnography is culled from case-studies of clinical work,
interviews with teachers, senior practitioners and trainees, as
well as from his participant observation. This book is written to
be accessible to all those who have an interest in the therapeutic
profession from the psychotherapist, social anthropologist, to the
general reader alike."
