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."
