Emotional Presence in Psychoanalysis provides a detailed look at
the intricacies of attaining emotional presence in psychoanalytic
work. John Madonna and a distinguished group of contributors draw
on both the relational and modern psychoanalytic schools of thought
to examine a variety of different problems commonly experienced in
achieving emotional resonance between analyst and patient, setting
out ways in which such difficulties may be overcome in
psychoanalytic treatment, practical clinical settings and in
training contexts. A focused review of relevant comparative
literature is followed by chapters featuring individual clinical
case studies, each illustrating particularly challenging aspects.
The uniqueness of this book lays not simply in the espousal of the
commonly accepted importance of emotional resonance between analyst
and patient; rather it is in the way in which emotional presence is
registered by both participants, requiring a working through, which
at times can be not only difficult but dangerous. Such efforts
involve a theory which enables the lens to understanding, an
effective methodology which guides intervention. The book also
calls for the art of the analyst to construct with patients
meanings which heal, and possess the heart to persist in commitment
despite the odds. Emotional Presence in Psychoanalysis is about
patients who suffer, struggle, resist and prevail. It offers
distinctive, transparently told accounts of analysts who engage
with patients, navigating through states of confusion, hatred and
more controversial feelings of love. Emotional Presence in
Psychoanalysis features highly compelling material written in an
accessible and easily understood style. It will be a valuable
resource for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists,
psychologists and clinical social workers as well as teachers,
trainers and students seeking to understand the power and potential
of the analytic process and the resistances to it.
