{"product_id":"interpretation-and-interaction-psychoanalysis-or-psychotherapy","title":"Interpretation and Interaction","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent decades the relationship between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy has been a focal point for debate about the distinctiveness of analysis as a particular kind of therapeutic enterprise. In \u003cem\u003eInterpretation and Interaction\u003c\/em\u003e, Jerome Oremland invokes the interventions of \"interpretation\" and \"interaction,\" rooted in the values of understanding and amelioration, respectively, as a conceptual basis for reappraising these important issues. In place of the commonly accepted triadic division among psychoanalysis, exploratory psychotherapy, and supportive psychotherapy, he proposes a new triad: psychoanalysis, psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy, and interactive psychotherapy. Anchoring his classification in what he terms the \"orientation of the therapy\" rather than the \"orientation of the therapist,\" Oremland submits that analysis and psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy strive systematically to \u003cem\u003einterpret\u003c\/em\u003e the therapeutic interaction as expressed in the transference. Interactive psychotherapy, on the other hand, uses the transference selectively to ameliorate psychic stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInterpretation and Interaction\u003c\/em\u003e is enriched by a concluding chapter from Merton Gill, a preeminent authority on the therapeutic process. Gill's critical appreciation of Oremland's proposals amounts to an illuminating refinement of his own position on the relationship between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScholarly in conception, thoughtful in tone, and pragmatic in yield, \u003cem\u003eInterpretation and Interaction\u003c\/em\u003e is a clarifying addition to the psychoanalytic theory of psychotherapy. It will have the practical consequence, in Gill's words, of \"aiding clinicians in retaining their analytic identities and their analytic orientation across the spectrum of their therapeutic work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54175593202008,"sku":null,"price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138883802_c4ca592c-1e69-46a0-ad78-decadb493b76.jpg?v=1777959060","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/interpretation-and-interaction-psychoanalysis-or-psychotherapy","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
