Sandor Ferenczi's mutual analysis with Elizabeth Severn-the patient
known as R.N. in the Clinical Diary-is one of the most
controversial and consequential episodes in the history of
psychoanalysis. In his latest groundbreaking work, Peter L.
Rudnytsky draws on a trove of archival sources to provide a
definitive scholarly account of this experiment, which constitutes
a paradigm for relational psychoanalysis, as Freud's self-analysis
does for classical psychoanalysis. In Part 1, Rudnytsky tells the
story of Severn's life and traces the unfolding of her ideas,
culminating in The Discovery of the Self. He shows how her book
contains disguised case histories not only of Ferenczi and Severn
herself-and thereby forms an indispensable companion volume to
Ferenczi's Clinical Diary-but also of Severn's daughter Margaret,
an internationally acclaimed dancer whose history of childhood
sexual abuse uncannily replicated Severn's own. Part 2 compares
Severn to Clara Thompson and Izette de Forest as transmitters of
Ferenczi's legacy, sets the record straight about Ferenczi's final
illness, and reveals how Severn went beyond Freud and Groddeck in
her capacity as Ferenczi's analyst. Finally, in Part 3, Rudnytsky
delineates the contrast between Freud and Ferenczi as men and
thinkers and makes it clear why he agrees with Erich Fromm that
Ferenczi's example demonstrates how Freud's attitude need not be
that of all analysts. The first comprehensive study of Ferenczi's
mutual analysis with Severn, this book is a profound reexamination
of Ferenczi's relationship to Freud and an impassioned defense of
Severn and Ferenczi's views on the nature and treatment of trauma.
It will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, especially
to relational analysts, self psychologists, and trauma theorists.
