Locating the phenomenon of transference within an evolutionary
perspective, this important book develops a new form of dynamic
therapy that focuses on the dynamics of attachment in adult life
and will be of use to a range of mental health professionals and
those at all levels in the caring and education professions.
Transference and Countertransference from an Attachment
Perspective: A Guide for Professional Caregivers explores the ways
in which transferential phenomena can be located in the different
aspects of the self that are instinctive, goal-corrected and
interrelated. At the centre of the book is the idea that when
intrapersonal or interpersonal systems (aspects of the self, such
as careseeking, caregiving, sharing interests, sexuality,
self-defence, building a home) get aroused, the behaviour that
follows is only logically and meaningfully connected when the
system (aspect of the self) reaches its goal. Placing this new
theoretical and clinical approach within the psychoanalytic
tradition, the work of developmental psychologists and the field of
neuroscience, the book takes us to the heart of the clinical
encounter and explores a range of issues including trauma, the
effect of early misattunements, love and hate in the therapeutic
relationship, burnout in caregivers, and the need for exploratory
care for caregivers themselves. Building on the therapeutic
modality that emerged from the research described in McCluskey's To
Be Met as a Person (2005), this book provides a valuable guide for
psychologists, psychotherapists, medical practicioners, nurses,
social workers, organisational consultants, educators, coaches, and
workplace managers. The McCluskey model for exploring the dynamics
of attachment in adult life which underlies the work described in
this book is currently being practised in a variety of settings and
with different ages and communities. These include end-of-life
care, organizations, homelessness, mental health, dementia care,
children, adolescents and families, schools, pastoral work,
training of clinical psychologists and attachment-based
psychoanalytic psychotherapists, occupational therapy, art therapy,
private practice, domestic violence, police training, GP support
and consultation, nurse training and support, pain management
clinics, foster carers, social workers, couple relationships,
supervision of psychotherapists and counsellors, therapeutic
communities, and complex grief and learning disabilities.
