Psychoanalytic Collisions Second Edition wrestles with a theme that
confronts every psychotherapist: the gap between illusions and
realities about the professional self. Joyce Slochower closely
examines situations in which the therapist's professional and
personal wishes collide with the actuality of everyday clinical
work. The book unpacks the dynamics of these collisions on both
beginning and seasoned therapists, offering ways of sustaining a
professional ideal while also exploring the mixed impact of that
ideal on clinical work. In examining how illusions and ideals
affect the therapeutic encounter for both better and worse,
Psychoanalytic Collisions invites the reader into the consulting
room. This Second Edition has been substantially revised. It
includes updated clinical and theoretical material as well as a new
chapter about mutual idealizations that coalesce between patient
and analyst. Slochower argues that psychoanalytic collisions can be
productively engaged, even if they often cannot be fully
resolved.The very act of engagement-whether by establishing new
grounds for collaboration in the wake of real-world catastrophe,
wrestling with clinical impasses that arise from the divergent
expectations of analyst and patient, or owning up to and addressing
the analyst's "secret delinquencies"-reveals how therapeutic
hopefulness can coexist with an acceptance of the analyst's
all-too-human fallibility. Psychoanalytic Collisions shows how
idealization is intrinsic both to forging an analytic identity and
practicing across a lifetime. Slochower's work challenges readers
to confront their own vulnerabilities and limits while also
embracing a professional ideal that is at once human and inspiring.
The book is an essential resource for psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, pastoral counselors, and readers interested in
the practice of psychotherapy today.
