Winner of the 2010 Haskell Norman Prize for Outstanding
Achievement in Psychoanalysis
Why is dreaming the mind's single most important psychoanalytic
activity?
This Art of Psychoanalysis offers a unique perspective on
psychoanalysis that features a new way of conceptualizing the role
of dreaming in human psychology.
Thomas Ogden's thinking has been at the cutting edge of
psychoanalysis for more than 25 years. In this volume, he builds on
the work of Freud, Klein, Winnicott, and Bion and explores the idea
that human psychopathology is a manifestation of a breakdown of the
individual's capacity to dream his experience. The investigation
into the role of the analyst in participating psychologically in
the patient's dreaming is illustrated throughout with elegant and
absorbing accounts of clinical work, providing a fascinating
insight into the analyst's experience. Subjects covered
include:
- a new reading of the origins of object relations theory
- on holding and containing, being and dreaming
- on psychoanalytic writing.
This engaging book succeeds in conveying not just a set of
techniques but a way of being with patients that is humane and
compassionate. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists and other mental health professionals.
