The Intimate Edge: Extending the Reach of Psychoanalytic Int

ISBN: 0393701409

Author: Ehrenberg, Darlene Bregman

Condition: new

From an interactive perspective, the author proposes a "theory of therapeutic action", focusing on what is healing in psychoanalysis, whether or not it evolves from "technique". Using vivid case examples, she looks at the "intimate edge", intense encounters and playfulness in a way that is based in traditional psychoanalytic thought and yet open to the possibilities of the moment.
