This work represents a watershed in Kleinian theory. The Author
beautifully integrates traditional Kleinian concepts, particularly
those of the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, with the
occurrence of infantile and childhood trauma and / or deprivations.
His clinical examples are extraordinarily convincing. All mental
health workers will greatly benefit from reading this book
James Grotstein
Confusing clinical standoffs, loyalty to self-destruction and
abrupt terminations are challenging and under-examined problems for
the modern psychoanalytic practitioner. The Danger of Change is a
timely book that addresses the so-called resistant patient so many
clinicians are familiar with.
Robert Waska blends theory based on Melanie Klein's classical
stance with the more contemporary Freudian/Kleinian school, to
demonstrate how to understand patients that are resistant to
progress. Divided into four sections, this book covers.
- Reluctant Patients and the Fight Against Change: Caught Between
the Paranoid and Depressive World
- Greed and the Dangers of Change
- Interruptions to the Process of Change: Loss, Envy, and the Death
Instinct
- Working Toward Change in the Face of Overwhelming Odds
Extensive and detailed clinical material is used to bring clarity
to subjects including symbolism, conflict resolution, projective
identification, the depressive and paranoid positions, change and
trust.
"The Danger of Change" brings hope and clarity to cases involving
patients who experience progress as a threat to their emotional
wellbeing. It will be of great interest to all practicing
psychoanalysts, as well as those studying psychoanalytic theory and
practice.
