In the face of considerable scepticism over the function and
effectiveness of psychoanalysis, Lena Ehrlich demonstrates how
analysis is unique in its potential to transform patients at an
emotionally cellular level by helping them access and process
long-standing conflicts and traumatic experiences. Using detailed
clinical vignettes, the author illustrates that when analysts
practice from the inside out, i.e. consider that external obstacles
to initiating and deepening an analysis inevitably reflect
analysts' fears of their internal world and of intimacy, they
become better able to speak to patients' long-term suffering. This
book, free from psychoanalytic jargon, stands out in its ability to
help readers feel more effective, confident, and optimistic about
practicing psychoanalysis by providing insights and recommendations
about beginning and deepening analysis and sustaining oneself as an
analyst over time. It will appeal to both beginners and experienced
analysts, as well as supervisors, educators, and those interested
in the workings of their minds and in building more intimate
relationships.
