In this stunning addition to what has of late become a distinct
genre of psychoanalytic literature, Peter Rudnytsky presents 10
substantive and provocative interviews with leading analysts, with
theorists from allied fields, and with influential Freud critics.
In conversations that Rudnytsky succeeds in making psychoanalytic
both in form and in content, he guides his interlocutors to
unforeseen reflections on the events and forces that shaped their
lives, and on the personal and intellectual grounds of their
beliefs and practices.
Rudnytsky, a ranking academic scholar of psychoanalysis and the
humanities, approaches his subjects with not only a highly attuned
third ear but also a remarkable grasp of theoretical, historical,
and clinical issues. When his interviewees turn from
autobiographical narratives to matters of theory and clinical
practice, Rudnytsky is clear about his own intellectual allegiance
to the Independent tradition of object relations theory and his
admiration for John Bowlby and attachment theory. His willingness
to set forth his own point of view and occasionally to press a line
of questioning infuses his exchanges with an energy, even passion,
heretofore unknown in the analytic interview literature. Rudnytsky
consistently emerges as a partner, even an analytic partner, in
dialogues that meld discovery with self-discovery.
To be sure, Psychoanalytic Conversations will find many clinical
and scholarly readers among those who relish a good engrossing
read. But it will have special appeal to students of analysis who
share Rudnytsky's belief that if psychoanalysis is to remain vital
in the new century, "it can only be by expanding its horizons and
learning from those who have taken it to task."
