Psychoanalytic Complexity is the application of a
multidisciplinary, explanatory theory to clinical psychoanalysis
and psychotherapy. It carries with it incisive and pivotal
attitudes that aim to transform our understanding of therapeutic
action and the change process. Here, William Coburn offers a
revolutionary and far-reaching counterpoint to the remnants of
Cartesianism and scientism, respecting and encouraging human
anomaly rather than pathologizing or obliterating the uniqueness of
the individual person.
In Psychoanaltyic Complexity, William Coburn explores the value
of complexity theory previously understood as an explanatory
framework with which clinicians can better understand,
retrospectively, therapeutic action and the change process. He
further extends this sensibility by examining the ways in which
such a rich theoretical framework can inform what clinicians can
do, prospectively, to effect positive change within the therapeutic
relationship. He persuasively argues that the medium of bringing to
light new ways of relating, emotional experiencing, and meaning
making resides in the fundamental attitudes derived from a
complexity theory sensibility as applied to psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy.
Using a variety of clinical illustrations throughout,
"Psychoanalytic Complexity" is a radical corrective to reductionism
and the more traditional presumption that the problem lies with the
patient and the cure lies with the therapist. It offers a new
language, vocabulary, way of thinking, and a new way of being with
others that are pivotal in arriving at affirmative therapeutic
change. This book is intended for psychoanalysts, clinical
psychologists, therapists, mental health counsellors, academics and
teachers who are interested in new trends in psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy.
