In this pioneering work, Phil Mollon explores how the insights of
EMDR, energy psychology and psychoanalysis can be combined to
inform and enrich one another and enable healing at a much deeper
level. Drawing out how Freud's psychoanalysis was originally an
energy psychology, Mollon points to ways in which some forms of
contemporary psychoanalysis may be hampered by a current fashion
for an excessive focus on transference rather than upon
intrapsychic processing of emotional information.Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with methods from
the new field of energy psychology, enable the rapid processing and
release of traumatic memories and painful emotion. Whilst both
psychoanalytic and cognitive therapies are able to elicit the
structures of thought and feeling that trap the individual in
repetitive maladaptive behaviours, neither are very good at
actually processing and transforming the troubling emotions and
mental pain. Thus, traditional talking therapies may provide some
insight or constructive ways of thinking, but do not alter the core
patterns of dysfunctional emotional information.Mollon outlines a
bedrock resistance to psychic change - disintegration anxiety -
explaining how this deepest of all terrors may be addressed in
therapy. An overall model of the psychosomatic system is presented,
detailing the interaction and layering between the energy system,
conscious and unconscious cognition and emotion, neurobiology, and
physiology. Relevant research is summarized and many clinical
examples are provided in the book.
