Contemporary Psychoanalytic Field Theory articulates the theory,
heuristic principles, and clinical techniques of psychoanalytic
field theory. S. Montana Katz describes the historical,
philosophical and clinical contexts for the development of field
theory in South America, North America and Europe. Field theory is
a family of related bi-personal psychoanalytic perspectives falling
into three principal models, which developed relatively
independently. One of the principal models is based upon the work
of Madeleine and Willy Baranger. The second, constructed by Katz,
draws upon what is held in common by the implicit field theories in
the United States of the interpersonal, intersubjective, relational
and motivational systems' psychoanalytic perspectives. The third is
based upon the work of Antonino Ferro. For each, Katz elucidates
its conception of mind, unconscious processes, the specific field
concept employed, therapeutic goals, and clinical techniques.
Similarities and differences of the models are illustrated. In the
book, a fabricated analytic process is offered in which an
analysand, Zoe, is engaged in three analyses. Each analyst works
with the techniques of one of the three field theories. Katz
conveys the diverging thought processes and technical choices of
each analyst and the potentially different therapeutic outcomes of
the application of each model. In the final chapters, Katz moves
beyond the specific field theories to articulate a concept of a
general field which underlies the three field concepts. She
explores how to use this generalized field to find a form of common
ground amongst the field theories, conjecturing that this
generalized concept has application beyond field theory to a
greater range of psychoanalytic perspectives. Contemporary
Psychoanalytic Field Theory provides a clear and comprehensive
guide that will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic
psychotherapists, mental health professionals and clinicians, as
well as philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and
anthropologists.
Metaphor and Fields is an explanation and demonstration of the
value of metaphoric processes and fields in psychoanalysis. In this
book, Montana Katz articulates a future direction for
psychoanalysis which is progressively explored, taking into account
features essential to psychoanalysts of all persuasions, clinically
and theoretically. In this way, psychoanalysis is brought into the
postmodern future by fashioning an umbrella for the discipline.
With this umbrella, the barriers to mutual understanding may be
dismantled and a path permanently forged to the possibility of
meaningful international, intercultural, interdisciplinary and
poly-perspectival psychoanalytic exchange. Metaphor and Fields
organically merges work on metaphoric processes with work on
fields. The use of a framework with metaphoric processes and fields
combined exhibits the uniqueness of psychoanalysis and shows how it
explores and explains human experience. The relational fields of
the North American school of relational theory, intersubjective
matrices, self object matrices, and the ground breaking work of
Madeleine and Willy Baranger are all examples of field concepts
that have been successfully employed in theoretical frameworks and
clinical technique. They show how other schools of thought can be
understood as using an implicit field concept. The chapters in this
book approach the subject from diverse vantage points. Taken
together, they form an intricate web of psychoanalytic thought that
moves the scope of psychoanalysis beyond dispute towards the open,
inclusive discussion of core concepts and technique. Metaphor and
Fields will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, mental
health clinicians, psychologists, social workers, and a wide
academic audience drawn from the fields of philosophy, linguistics,
comparative literature, anthropology and sociology.

Field Theory is a powerful and growing paradigm within
psychoanalysis, but has previously been split between various
schools of thought with little overlap. In this book, a
distinguished group of contributors from across all perspectives on
Field Theory examine its uniting factors and set out future
developments and directions for the paradigm within psychoanalysis.
Advances in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Field Theory represents the
work developed for the first international meeting of the
International Field Theory Association. Founded in 2015 to offer a
community for those interested in psychoanalytic field theory and
promote its understanding and further development, IFTA recognizes
all models of psychoanalytic field theory and seeks to foster
communication amongst psychoanalysts working in different models,
languages and parts of the world. At the first ever meeting of
IFTA, an international group of psychoanalysts participated in a
roundtable discussion of the different contemporary models of
psychoanalytic field theory. Each participant wrote a paper in
advance of the meeting, which were all shared among the group
beforehand and then discussed together. These feature as the
chapters in this volume, whilst a thirteenth member offers a
unifying overview of all the papers. Each chapter provides new,
contemporary ways of approaching field theory. Key excerpts from
the discussion of the meeting are also featured throughout to give
a flavour of the collaborative efforts of the participants. The
emphasis of this book is on generating mutual understanding of the
different models of field theory, their underlying concepts, and
heuristic principles. Drawing on insights from literature, critical
theory and philosophy as well as psychoanalysis, this book sets out
a program for the future of Field Theory. Advances in Contemporary
Psychoanalytic Field Theory will appeal to psychoanalysts and
mental health care practitioners as well as academicians in
philosophy, psychology and literature.
