Repair of the Soul examines transformation from the perspective of
Jewish mysticism and psychoanalysis, addressing the question of how
one achieves self-understanding that leads not only to insight but
also to meaningful change. In this beautifully written and
thought-provoking book, Karen Starr draws upon a contemporary
relational approach to psychoanalysis to explore the spiritual
dimension of psychic change within the context of the
psychoanalytic relationship. Influenced by the work of Lewis Aron,
Steven Mitchell and other relational theorists, and drawing upon
contemporary scholarship in the field of Jewish studies, Starr
brings the ideas of the Kabbalah, the ancient Jewish mystical
tradition, into dialogue with modern psychoanalytic thought. Repair
of the Soul provides a scholarly integration of several kabbalistic
and psychoanalytic themes relating to transformation, including
faith, surrender, authenticity, and mutuality, as well as a unique
exploration of the relationship of the individual to the universal.
Starr uses the Kabbalah's metaphors as a vivid framework with which
to illuminate the experience of transformation in psychoanalytic
process, and to explore the evolving view of the psychoanalytic
relationship as one in which both parties - the analyst as well as
the patient - are transformed.
