In Building Bridges, Stuart A. Pizer gives much-needed recognition
to the central role of negotiation in the analytic relationship and
in the therapeutic process. Building on a Winnicottian perspective
that comprehends paradox as the condition for preserving an
intrapsychic and relational "potential space," Pizer explores how
the straddling of paradox requires an ongoing process of
negotiation and demonstrates how such negotiation articulates the
creative potential within the potential space of analysis.
Following careful review of Winnicott's perspective on paradox-via
the pairings of privacy and interrelatedness, isolation and
interdependence, ruthlessness and concern, and the notion of
transitional phenomena-Pizer locates these elemental paradoxes
within the negotiations of an analytic process. Together, he
observes, analyst and patient negotiate the boundaries, potentials,
limits, tonalities, resistances, and meanings that determine the
course of their clinical dialogue. Elaborating on the theme of a
multiply constituted, "distributed" self, Pizer presents a model
for the tolerance of paradox as a developmental achievement related
to ways in which caretakers function as "transitional mirrors." He
then explores the impact of trauma and dissociation on the child's
ability to negotiate paradox and clarifies how negotiation of
paradox differs from negotiation of conflict. Pizer also broadens
the scope of his study by turning to negotiation theory and
practices in the disciplines of law, diplomacy, and dispute
resolution. Enlivened by numerous clinical vignettes and a richly
detailed chronicle of an analytic case from its earliest
negotiations to termination, Building Bridges adds a significant
dimension to theoretical understanding and clinical practice. It is
altogether a psychoanalytic work of our time.
