Contemporary Psychoanalytic Field Theory articulates the theory,
heuristic principles, and clinical techniques of psychoanalytic
field theory. S. Montana Katz describes the historical,
philosophical and clinical contexts for the development of field
theory in South America, North America and Europe. Field theory is
a family of related bi-personal psychoanalytic perspectives falling
into three principal models, which developed relatively
independently. One of the principal models is based upon the work
of Madeleine and Willy Baranger. The second, constructed by Katz,
draws upon what is held in common by the implicit field theories in
the United States of the interpersonal, intersubjective, relational
and motivational systems' psychoanalytic perspectives. The third is
based upon the work of Antonino Ferro. For each, Katz elucidates
its conception of mind, unconscious processes, the specific field
concept employed, therapeutic goals, and clinical techniques.
Similarities and differences of the models are illustrated. In the
book, a fabricated analytic process is offered in which an
analysand, Zoe, is engaged in three analyses. Each analyst works
with the techniques of one of the three field theories. Katz
conveys the diverging thought processes and technical choices of
each analyst and the potentially different therapeutic outcomes of
the application of each model. In the final chapters, Katz moves
beyond the specific field theories to articulate a concept of a
general field which underlies the three field concepts. She
explores how to use this generalized field to find a form of common
ground amongst the field theories, conjecturing that this
generalized concept has application beyond field theory to a
greater range of psychoanalytic perspectives. Contemporary
Psychoanalytic Field Theory provides a clear and comprehensive
guide that will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic
psychotherapists, mental health professionals and clinicians, as
well as philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and
anthropologists.
