Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy have, in one way or another,
focused on the amelioration of the negative. This has only done
half the job; the other half being to actively bring Positive
Experience into patients' lives. Positive Psychoanalysis moves away
from this traditional focus on negative experience and problems,
and instead looks at what makes for a positive life experience,
bringing a new clinical piece to what psychoanalysts do: Positive
Psychoanalysis and the interdisciplinary theory and research behind
it. The envelope of functions entailed in Positive Psychoanalysis
is an area of Being described as Subjective Well-Being. This book
identifies three particular areas of function encompassed by SWB:
Personal Meaning, Aesthetics, and Desire. Mark Leffert looks at the
importance of these factors in our positive experiences in everyday
life, and how they are manifested in clinical psychoanalytic work.
These domains of Being form the basis of chapters, each comprising
an interdisciplinary discussion integrating many strands of
research and argument. Leffert discusses how the areas interact
with each other and how they come to bear on the care, healing, and
cure that are the usual subjects of psychoanalytic treatment. He
also explores how they can be represented in contemporary
psychoanalytic theory. This novel work discusses and integrates
research findings, phenomenology, and psychoanalytic thought that
have not yet been considered together. It seeks to inform readers
about these subjects and demonstrates, with clinical examples, how
to incorporate them into their clinical work with the negative,
helping patients not just to heal the negative but also move into
essential positive aspects of living: a sense of personal meaning,
aesthetic competence, and becoming a desiring being that
experiences Subjective Well-Being. Drawing on ideas from across
neuroscience, philosophy, and social and culture studies, this book
sets out a new agenda for covering the positive in psychoanalysis.
Positive Psychoanalysis will appeal to psychoanalysts and
psychotherapists, neuroscientists and philosophers, as well as
academics across these fields and in psychiatry, comparative
literature, and literature and the mind.
