Clinical Interaction and the Analysis of Meaning evinces a
therapeutic vitality all too rare in works of theory. Rather than
fleeing from the insights of other disciplines, Dorpat and Miller
discover in recent research confirmation of the possibilities of
psychoanalytic treatment. In Section I, "Critique of Classical
Theory," Dorpat proposes a radical revision of the notion of
primary process consonant with contemporary cognitive science. Such
a revised conception not only enlarges our understanding of the
analytic process; it also provides analysis with a conceptual
language that can articulate meaningful connections with a growing
body of empirical research about the development and nature of
human cognition. In Section II, "Interactional Theory," Miller
reverses the direction of inquiry. He begins with the literature on
cognitive development and functioning, and proceeds to mine it for
concepts relevant to the clinical process. He shows how a revised
understanding of the operation of cognition and affect can impart
new meaning to basic clinical concepts such as resistance,
transference, and level of psychopathology. In Section III,
"Applications and Exemplifications," Dorpat concludes this
exemplary collaboration by exploring select topics from the
standpoint of his and Miller's new psychoanalytic theory. At the
heart of the authors' endeavor it "meaning analysis," a concept
that integrates an up-to-date model of human information processing
with the traditional goals of psychoanalysis. The patient
approaches the clinical encounter, they argue, with
cognitive-affective schemas that are the accumulatice product of
his life experience to date; the manifold meanings ascribed to the
clinical interaction must be understood as the product of these
schemas rather than as distortions deriving from unconscious,
drive-related fantasies. The therapist's goal is to make the
patient's meaning-making conscious and thus available for
introspection.
