Elizabeth Severn, known as "R.N." in Sandor Ferenczi's Clinical
Diary, was Ferenczi's analysand for eight years, the patient with
whom he conducted his controversial experiment in mutual analysis,
and a psychoanalyst in her own right who had a transformative
influence on his work. The Discovery of the Self is the
distillation of that experience and allows us to hear the voice of
one of the most important patients in the history of
psychoanalysis. However, Freud branded Severn Ferenczi's "evil
genius" and her name does not appear in Ernest Jones's biography,
so she has remained largely unknown until now. This book is a
reissue of Severn's landmark work of 1933, together with an
introduction by Peter L. Rudnytsky that sets out the unrecognized
importance of her thinking both for the development of
psychoanalysis and for contemporary theory. Inspired by the
realization that Severn has embedded disguised case histories both
of herself and of Ferenczi, as well as of her daughter Margaret,
Rudnytsky shows how The Discovery of the Self contains "the other
side of the story" of mutual analysis and is thus an indispensable
companion volume to the Clinical Diary. A full partner in
Ferenczi's rehabilitation of trauma theory and champion of the view
that the analyst must participate in the patient's reliving of past
experiences, Severn emerges as the most profound conduit for
Ferenczi's legacy in the United States, if not in the entire world.
Lacking any institutional credentials and once completely
marginalized, Elizabeth Severn can at long last be given her due as
a formidable psychoanalyst. Newly available for the first time in
more than eighty years, The Discovery of the Self is simultaneously
an engaging introduction to psychotherapy that will appeal to
general readers as well as a sophisticated text to be savored by
psychoanalytic scholars and clinicians as a "prequel" to the works
of Heinz Kohut and a neglected classic of relational
psychoanalysis.
