Seduction, Surrender, and Transformation demonstrates how
interpersonal psychoanalysis obliges analysts to engage their
patients with genuine emotional responsiveness, so that not only
the patient but the analyst too is open to ongoing transformation
through the analytic experience. In so doing, the analyst moves
from the position of an "interpreting observer" to that of an
"active participant and facilitator" whose affective communications
enable the patient to acquire basic self-trust along with
self-knowledge. Drawing on the current literature on affect, Maroda
argues that psychological change occurs through affect-laden
interpersonal processes. Given that most patients in psychotherapy
have problems with affect management, the completing of cycles of
affective communication between therapist and patient becomes a
vitally important aspect of the therapeutic enterprise. Through
emotionally open responses to their patients and careful use of
patient-prompted self-disclosures, analysts can facilitate affect
regulation responsibly and constructively, with the emphasis always
remaining on the patients' experience. Moments of mutual surrender
- the honest emotional giving over of patient to analyst and
analyst to patient - epitomize the emotionally intense
interpersonal experiences that lead to enduring intrapsychic
change. Maroda's work is profoundly personal. She does not hesitate
to share with the reader how her own personality affects her
thinking and her work. Indeed, she believes her theoretical and
clinical preferences are emblematic of the way in which the
analyst's subjectivity necessarily shapes theory choice and
practice preferences in general. Seduction, Surrender, and
Transfomation is not only a powerful brief for emotional honesty in
the analytic relationship but also a model of the personal openness
that, according to Maroda, psychoanalysis demands of all its
practitioners.
