This fascinating book applies social theorist Georges Bataille's
revolutionary thinking to psychotherapy, offering clinicians a new
and valuable context for practicing therapy. In adding Bataille's
ideas to several different psychotherapeutic modalities, this book
makes the notoriously obscure thinker more accessible while testing
the validity of his far-reaching work in the treatment room.
Through an in-depth examination of several clinical case studies,
the book demonstrates how to balance an understanding of the social
and historical contexts of participants with a therapeutic approach
that offers empathy for individual distress. It also explains how
Bataille's innovative approach can be applied to work with couples,
groups, institutions, and even one of Freud's classic case studies.
Both the content and form of each chapter demonstrate the
therapeutic value of a reflexive, critical approach to one's
practice and exemplify how to write about it. Offering an
unprecedented opportunity to imagine how Bataille's own interest in
psychoanalysis and clinical psychology might have developed, this
book will be of interest to both practitioners in the field and
scholars of continental philosophy and social theory.
