In this remarkable survey of "the communicative repertory of
humans," John Gedo demonstrates the central importance to theory
and therapeutics of the communication of information. He begins by
surveying those modes of communication encountered in
psychoanalysis that go beyond the lexical meaning of verbal
dialogue, including "the music of speech," various protolinguistic
phenomena, and the language of the body. Then, turning to the
analytic dialogue, Gedo explores the implications of these
alternative modes of communication for psychoanalytic technique.
Individual chapters focus, in turn, on the creation of a "shared
language" between analyst and analysand, the consequences of the
analytic setting, the form in which the analyst casts particular
interventions, the curative limits of empathy, the analyst's
affectivity and its communication to the patient, and the semiotic
significance of countertransference and projective identification.
Gedo does not proffer semiotics as a substitute for metapsychology.
He is explicit that communicative skill is always dependdent on
somatic events within the central nervous system. Indeed, it is
because Gedo's hierarchical approach to communication builds on our
current understanding of a hierarchically organized central nervous
system that his clincal observations become insights into basic
psychobiological functioning. Grounded in Gedo's four decades of
clinical experience, The Languages of Psychoanalysis points to a
new venue of clinical research and conceptualization, one in which
attentiveness to issues of communication will not only foster
linkages with contemporary neuroscience, but also clarify and
enlarge the therapeutic possibilities of psychoanalytic treatment.
