"Anatomy of Regret" has a highly clinical focus, with cases that
illustrate how critical psychic change can emerge from the mourning
of the grief of psychic regret. This book highlights the
developmental achievement of owning the guilt of aggression, and of
tolerating insight into the losses one had produced. The author
uses the term psychic regret to capture the essence of the process
of facing regret consciously. This is in contrast to the split-off
and persecutory dynamics of unconscious guilt. Unconscious guilt
exposes itself through visceral and cognitive impingements, which
are related to internal world enactments, and it relies on
unconscious avoidance of the pain and loss involved in facing
psychic regret.Dr. Kavaler-Adler s theory of developmental mourning
is illustrated in this book through in-depth lively clinical
processes (cases and vignettes). The reader is able to witness how
those who have faced consciousness of their resistances to
experiences of loss and guilt (as referred to by Melanie Klein in
her theory of the depressive position) go through the critical
psychological transformation, which allows for authentic psychic
change. This is a psychological change that has meaning and meaning
creativity within it."Anatomy of Regret" weaves the themes of
psychoanalysis in its early days with those of current practice. It
simultaneously offers vivid case examples, where theory becomes a
retrospective way of organizing the progress in the clinical work,
and in the lives of patients. Dr. Kavaler-Adler addresses both
theoretical and clinical conundrums, as she offers the opportunity
for readers to immerse themselves in the journey from internal
emptiness to both internal and external richness."
