* How is it that someone who has a problem is able to resolve it
through conversation with another?* By the author of several
classics in psychoanalysis* Written for patients and analysts alike
In this essential new volume, Neville Symington, a highly respected
psychoanalyst and author, considers why someone who has a problem
is able to resolve it through conversation. The disciplines of
psychoanalysis and psychotherapy are based upon the assumption that
it is possible to resolve one's troubles in this manner. Combining
his own substantial experience in psychoanalysis with rigorous
academic research, Symington reminds us that psychoanalysis
constitutes "not just an intellectual effort but an emotional
transformation" facilitated through healing conversation.As a
psychoanalyst, he seeks to illuminate the complexity and the
sometimes painful ambiguity of human experience. He aims to avoid
oversimplification, quick judgment, or reliance on established
meta-narratives. The book therefore maintains a dialectical
approach to its subject, continuing to raise questions and motivate
further investigation.Written in an engaging style drawing on
cultural, literary, and clinical sources, Symington moves from the
broad themes of emotion, communication, and representation to the
depth of clinical case studies. Though written specifically with
psychoanalysts in mind, A Healing Conversation is a work that will
appeal to many, not only those with an interest in this field.
