Phenomenology, Uncertainty and Care in the Therapeutic Encounter is
the latest in a series of books where Mark Leffert explores the
therapeutic encounter as both process and situation; looking for
evidence of therapeutic effectiveness rather than accepting
existing psychoanalytic concepts of theory or cure without
question. Mark Leffert focuses on the uncomfortable fact that
analysts and therapists can and do make many mistaken assumptions
and false moves within their clinical practice, and that there is a
tendency to ignore the significant levels of uncertainty in what
they do. Beginning with a discussion of the phenomenology of the
self and its relations with the world, the book moves on to explore
the notion that interdisciplinary discourse both opens up
possibilities in the therapeutic encounter but also imposes healthy
constraints on what can be thought or theorized about
psychoanalytically. Phenomenology, Uncertainty and Care in the
Therapeutic Encounter contributes a new understanding of familiar
material and brings a new focus to the care-giving and healing
aspects of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy leading to a shift in
the analyst's identity from that of one who analyses to one who
cares for and heals. This book will be of interest to
Psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, neuroscientists and academics
in the fields of psychiatry, comparative literature and literature
and the mind.
