Frances Tustin Today explores some of the ways and means by which
Tustin's work has enabled psychoanalytic clinicians to enter into
the elemental domain of sensation: what Bion called the
'proto-mental' area of the psyche-soma. Through detailed clinical
contributions of several of her exponents worldwide, this book
demonstrates how her ideas -- rooted in decades of work with
children on the autistic spectrum -- have influenced and are being
expanded, extended and applied to the treatment of ordinary
patients from early childhood through adulthood. The contributors
to this volume represent a selection of the contemporary thinking
that organically grew out of Tustin's discoveries, and show that
Tustin's model has added new dimensions to the fields of infant
observation, family therapy and neuro-psychology. Each chapter is
augmented by demonstrable clinical experience. Frances Tustin Today
is a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists,
educators and parents who are interested in learning more about
this uniquely independent clinical observer's findings and their
impact upon the treatment of autistic states in children,
adolescents and adults by contemporary workers in the field of
mental health. Judith L. Mitrani, and Theodore Mitrani, are Fellows
of The International Psycho-Analytical Association, Training and
Supervising Psychoanalysts at The Psychoanalytic Center of
California in Los Angeles. They are founding members of the Board
of Trustees of The Frances Tustin Memorial Trust, and authors,
editors, translators and teachers in the private practice of
psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy with Adults and Children
in Los Angeles, California.
An extraordinary depiction of one analyst's efforts to receive and
respond to the vivid impressions of her patients raw and sometimes
even unmentalized experiences as they are highlighted in the
transference-countertransference connection. Mitrani attempts to
feel, suffer, mentally transform, and, finally, verbally construct
for and with the patient possible meanings for those immediate
versions of lifes earliest experiences as they are re-enacted in
the therapeutic relationship. She uses insights from this
therapeutic work to contribute to the metapsychology of British and
American object relations as well as to the psychoanalytic theory
of technique. In these eleven essays, Dr Mitrani masterfully
integrates the work of Klein, Winnicott, Bion and Tustin as she
leads us on an expedition through primitive emotional territories.
She clears the way toward detecting and understanding the survival
function of certain pathological manoeuvres deployed by patients
when confronted by unthinkable anxieties. In her vivid accounts of
numerous clinical cases, she provides and demonstrates the tools
needed to effect a transformation of unmentalized experiences
within the context of the therapeutic relationship.
'Judith Mitrani's latest work beautifully illuminates some incompletely explored areas of psychoanalytic thinking... Throughout this work we become impressed with the presence of a versatile and innovative observer, thinker, clinician, and integrator with an unusual range of knowledge. Dr Mitrani's is a new, valuable, and most welcome voice in psychoanalysis.' - James S. Grotstein, North American Vice President, International Psychoanalytical Association
