Transformations in Self Psychology highlights the manner in which
contemporary self psychology has become, in the words of series
editor William Coburn, "a continuing series of revolutions within a
revolution." Of special note are contributions that explore the
bidirectional influences between self psychology and other
explanatory paradigms. The volume begins with Stern's thoughtful
attempt to integrate self-psychological and relational perspectives
on transference-countertransference enactments. Fosshage and
Munschauer's presentation of a case of "extreme nihilism and
aversiveness" elicits a series of discussions that constructively
highlights divergent perspectives on the meaning and role of
enactment in treatment and on the so-called empathy/authenticity
dichotomy. The productive exploration of theoretical differences
also enters in the redefinition of notions of gender and sexuality,
a topic of increasing interest to self psychologists. Differing
perspectives, which give rise to differing clinical emphases,
emerge in the exchanges of Clifford and Goldner, and of VanDerHeide
and Hartmann. The special "contextualist" demands of work with
intercultural couples foster a more integrative sensibility, with
self-psychological borrowings from interpretive anthropology and
attachment theory. Clinical contributors to Volume 20 explore
manifestations of a tension that permeates all analytic work: that
between the patient's newly emerging ability to expand the self in
growth-consolidating ways and the countervailing dread to repeat.
Enlarged by Malin's personal reflections of "Fifty Years of
Psychoanalysis" and by book review essays focusing on the writings
of Lachmann and Stolorow, respectively, Transformations in Self
Psychology bespeaks the continuing vitality of contemporary self
psychology.
