The question of how psychoanalysts are affected by their patients
is of perennial interest. Edward Glover posed the question in an
informal survey in 1940, but little came of his efforts. Now, more
than half a century later, Judy Kantrowitz rigorously explores this
issue on the basis of a unique research project that obtained data
from 399 fully trained analysts. These survey responses included
194 reported clinical examples and 26 extended case commentaries on
analyst change. Kantrowitz begins The Patient's Impact on the
Analyst by documenting how the process of analysis fosters an
interactional process out of which patient and analyst alike
experience therapeutic effects. Then, drawing on the clinical
examples provided by her survey respondents, she offers a detailed
exploration of the ways in which clinically triggered
self-reflection represents a continuation of the analyst's own
personal understanding and growth. Finally, she incorporates these
research findings into theoretical reflections on how analysts
obtain and integrate self-knowledge in the course of their ongoing
clinical work. This book is a pioneering effort to understand the
therapeutic process from the perspective of its impact on the
analyst. It provides an enlarged framework of comprehension for
recent discussions of self-analysis, countertransference,
interaction, and mutuality in the analytic process. Combining a
wealth of experiential insight with thoughtful commentary and
synthesis, it will sharpen analysts' awareness of how they work and
how they are affected by their work.
