Living Psychoanalysis "comprises four main sections:

Life and Death - asks what it means to be fully and creatively alive, and introduces the concept of "avant-coup"

Sexuality, Narcissism and the Oedipus complex - develops fresh ways of understanding these key concepts

How analysts listen - explores links between psychoanalytic listening and the way artists look at the world, and introduces the concept of the internal analytic setting

The Independent tradition in British psychoanalysis - considers the theoretical foundations of Independent clinical technique, and discusses from various perspectives the role of training in developing the identity of analysts and analytic therapists

With fresh theoretical concepts and a focus on specific aspects of clinical practice, "Living Psychoanalysis: From Theory to Experience" will be a valuable resource for analysts, therapists and professionals who wish to extend their vision of psychoanalysis.
