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.
