"Highly recommended."
"--Psychoanalytic Books"
"A fascinating collection of essays by both European and
NorthAmerican psychoanalysts. . . . A major contribution to the
growingknowledge about Ferenczi, his inspirations, creativity, and
riskydirections."
"--Rosemary Balsam, Choice"
Sigmund Freud's role in the history and development of
psychoanalysis continues to be the standard by which others are
judged. One of the most remarkable features of that history,
however, is the exceptional caliber of the men and women Freud
attracted as disciples and coworkers. One of the most influential,
and perhaps overlooked, of them was the Hungarian analyst Sndor
Ferenczi. Apart from Freud, Ferenczi is the analyst from that
pioneering generation who addresses most immediately the concerns
of contemporary psychoanalysts.
In Ferenczi's Turn in Psychoanalysis fifteen eminent scholars
and clinicians from six different countries provide a comprehensive
and rigorous examination of Ferenczi's legacy. Although the
contributors concur in their assessment of Ferenczi's stature, they
often disagree in their judgments about his views and his place in
the history of psychoanalysis. For some, he is a radically
iconoclastic figure, whose greatest contributions lie in his
challenge to Freudian orthodoxy; for others, he is ultimately a
classical analyst, who built on Freud's foundations. Divided into
three sections, Contexts and Continuities, Disciple and Dissident,
and Theory and Technique, the essays in Ferenczi's Turn in
Psychoanalysis invite the reader to take part in a dialogue, in
which the questions are many and the answers open-ended.
