{"product_id":"self-analysis-paperback-softback","title":"Self-Analysis - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelf-Analysisis 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.The contributors to Self-Analysisrepresent 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? As 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","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44576944390382,"sku":"9781138872417","price":75.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138872417.jpg?v=1704450201","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/self-analysis-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
