Secret Passages: The Theory and Technique of Interpsychic Relations

Secret Passages provides a theoretical and clinical exploration of the field of psychoanalysis. It looks at the pivotal relationship between analyst and client and its importance to the psychoanalytic process. Offering a uniquely global perspective, Bolognini considers the different trends in contemporary psychoanalysis, charting a course between the innovative and traditional.

Divided into three parts, areas of discussion include:

• plurality and complexity in the internal world
• the complex nature of psychoanalytic empathy
• from the transpsychic to the interpsychic.

Drawing on vivid clinical examples throughout, Secret Passages will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts, in particular those with an interest in gaining a more global theoretical perspective.
