{"product_id":"analyzing-situation","title":"Analyzing Situation","description":"In this book Jean-Luc Donnet explores the particularities of the status of the method in psychoanalysis, linked to the specificity of unconscious psychic processes. If the method aims at ensuring a level of technical mastery, it must also make sure that analytic treatment does not become an 'application' of knowledge. A modern conception of the analytic situation implies going beyond the classical pair of 'setting-interpretation'. Starting out from the postulate of a transferential dynamic of the encounter, the author brings into play the pair 'analyzing site-situation'. The 'analyzing situation' emerges from the utilization, in a found-created mode (Winnicott), of an initial site constituted by a set of means put at the patients disposal. The analyzing situation includes patient and analyst in a self-organizing structure. The notion of a site makes it possible to approach the difference between psychoanalysis and analytic psychotherapy differently: each site has a 'logic', an intrinsic functional coherence, which have their own incidence on the therapeutic process. In the second part of the book, which ends with analysis of an essential screen-memory \"A Child Is Being Talked About\", the author also presents four other texts: a vertiginous study of Conrad's novel \"Lord Jim\", a new exploration of 'tender humour', a moving reading of Freud's \"A Disturbance on the Acropolis\", and a radical approach to \"Civilization and its Discontents\", which reflect the central place he gives to the agency of the Superego as a keystone of Freudian thought.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55002306347352,"sku":"9781855757660","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781855757660.jpg?v=1769274016","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/analyzing-situation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
