Winner of the Theoretical Category of the American Board &
Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize for best books published in
2016 Psychoanalysis Beyond the End of Metaphysics offers a new
paradigm approach which advocates reengaging the importance of
metaphysics in psychoanalytic theorizing. The emergence of the
relational trend has witnessed a revitalizing influx of new ideas,
reflecting a fundamental commitment to the principle of dialogue.
However, the transition towards a more pluralistic discourse
remains a work in progress, and those schools of thought not
directly associated with the relational shift continue to play only
a marginal role. In this book, Robin S. Brown argues that for
contemporary psychoanalysis to more adequately reflect a clinical
ethos of pluralism, the field must examine the extent to which a
theoretical commitment to the notion of relationship can grow
restrictive. Suggesting that in the very effort to negotiate
theoretical biases, psychoanalytic practice may occlude a more
adequate recognition of its own evolving assumptions, Brown
proposes that the profession's advance requires a return to first
principles. Arguing for the fundamental role played by faith in
supporting the emergence of consciousness, this work situates
itself at the crossroads of relational, Jungian, and transpersonal
approaches to the psyche. Psychoanalysis Beyond the End of
Metaphysics will be of significant interest to all
psychodynamically oriented clinicians, alongside scholars of depth
psychology and the philosophy of mind. It will also be helpful to
advanced and postgraduate students of psychoanalysis seeking to
orient themselves in the field at present.
