Over the course of the past 15 years, there has been a vast sea
change in American psychoanalysis. It takes the form of a broad
movement away from classical psychoanalytic theorizing grounded in
Freud's drive theory toward models of mind and development grounded
in object relations concepts. In clinical practice, there has been
a corresponding movement away from the classical principles of
neutrality, abstinence and anonymity toward an interactive vision
of the analytic situation that places the analytic relationship,
with its powerful, reciprocal affective currents, in the
foreground. These developments have been evident in virtually all
schools of psychoanalysis in America, from the most traditional to
the most radical.
The wellspring of these innovations is the work of a group of
psychoanalysts who have struggled to integrate aspects of
interpersonal psychoanalysis, various British object relations
theories, and psychoanalytic feminism. Although not self-selected
as a school, these theorists have generated a distinct tradition of
psychoanalytic thought and clinical practice that has become
extremely influential within psychoanalysis in the United
States.
Relational Psychoanalysis: The Emergence of a Tradition brings
together for the first time the seminal papers of the major authors
within this tradition. Each paper is accompanied by an
introduction, in which the editors place it in its historical
context, and a new afterward, in which the author suggests
subsequent developments in his or her thinking. This book is an
invaluable resource for any clinical practitioner, teacher or
student of psychoanalysis interested in exploring the exciting
developments of recent years.
