{"product_id":"self-analysis-3","title":"Self-Analysis","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSelf-Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating reprise on the mode of disciplined self-inquiry that gave rise to psychoanalysis. From Freud's pioneering self-analytic efforts onward, self-analysis has been central to psychoanalytic training and psychoanalytic practice. Yet, only in recent years have analysts turned their attention to this wellspring of Freud's creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to \u003cem\u003eSelf-Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e represent diverse theoretical perspectives, but they share a common appreciation of the importance of self-analysis to the analytic endeavor. Their papers encompass systematic inquiries into the capacity for self-analysis, examples of self-analysis as an aspect of clinical work, and personal reflections on the role of self-analysis in professional growth. Among the questions explored: What do we mean by self-analysis? To what extent and under what conditions is self-analysis possible? How does it differ from ordinary introspection? What are the developmental antecedents of the capacity for self-analysis? What is the role of the \"other\" in self-analysis? What are the relationships among self-analysis, writing, and creativity? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Barron observes, the contributors to the book \"grapple with the formidable ambiguities of self-analysis without either idealizing or devaluing its potential.\" What emerges from their effort is not only an illuminating window into the psychoanalyst's subjectivity as a fact of clinical life, but a far-reaching exemplification of the ways in which self-understanding is always a constitutive part of our understanding of others. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54984061223256,"sku":"9780881631432","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780881631432.jpg?v=1770348629","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/self-analysis-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
