A remarkable achievement. Ammaniti and Stern have brought
together an outstanding group of thinkers who address the problem
of representation and psychoanalysis with depth and originality.
Individually, each chapter is a joy to read. Collectively, the book
is an essential addition to our thinking about the parameters of
subjectivity and their role in the therapeutic process."

The concepts of representation and narratives have played a key
role in the development of psychoanalysis, clinical research and
theoretical speculation. This work carefully analyze the growth of
representation and narratives in the history and practice of
psychoanalysis.
Found in the early writings of Freud, the term representation
identifies the process of internalization; the building of an
internal mental world, separate from external reality, which allows
us to give meaning to our own experiences. Also found in Freud's
early works, the concept of narration as the idea that personal
experience might assume the character of a narrative construction
provided the impetus for the war between Freudian metapsychology
and American psychoanalysts in the 1970's.
This significant addition to the Psychoanalytic Crosscurrents
series explores the close and necessary relationship between the
two theories and illustrate how they have developed the language of
therapy and affected the practice of both psychoanalysis and
developmental psychology.
