Seeing and Being Seen: Emerging from a Psychic Retreat: The New Library of Psychoanalysis

Autor John Steiner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2011

Relevanța lucrării Seeing and Being Seen pentru practica clinică contemporană și pentru formarea avansată în psihanaliză derivă din abordarea sa frontală a impasului terapeutic. John Steiner investighează fenomenele care apar atunci când pacienții încep să părăsească „refugiul psihic” — acea structură defensivă rigidă descrisă în opera sa anterioară. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Steiner reușește să cartografieze anxietățile specifice acestui proces de emergență, oferind terapeuților un instrumentar teoretic pentru a gestiona rezistența la schimbare.

Notăm cu interes structura tripartită a volumului, care ghidează cititorul prin straturile complexe ale vulnerabilității umane. Prima parte se concentrează pe triada stânjeneală-rușine-umilință, explorând „anxietatea de a fi văzut” și narcisismul rănit. Partea a doua analizează dinamica puterii și dominanței în cadrul situației oedipiene, în timp ce secțiunea finală abordează teme fundamentale precum compulsia la repetiție și conflictul dintre doliu și melancolie. Stilul este unul riguros, ancorat în tradiția Kleiniană, dar integrativ, făcând referiri esențiale la Freud și Bion pentru a explica eșecul dezvoltării psihice.

Alternativă la The Danger of Change pentru cursurile de psihanaliză clinică, acest volum are avantajul de a oferi o continuitate conceptuală cu Psychic Retreats, aprofundând mecanismele de apărare specifice izolării auto-impuse. În contextul altor lucrări ale autorului, precum The Oedipus Complex Today, această carte rafinează înțelegerea relațiilor de obiect și a modului în care transferul poate deveni un spațiu al observației excluse. Este o resursă esențială pentru profesioniștii care caută să înțeleagă de ce anumite analize se blochează și cum poate fi facilitat progresul fără a declanșa o retragere și mai profundă.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare este indispensabilă psihoterapeuților și analiștilor care se confruntă cu pacienți „blocați” în procesul terapeutic. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a modului în care rușinea și dorința de dominanță sabotează vindecarea. Steiner oferă claritate teoretică asupra momentelor critice de vulnerabilitate, oferind o perspectivă rară despre cum „a vedea și a fi văzut” poate deveni dintr-o amenințare paralizantă, un motor al dezvoltării psihice.


Despre autor

John Steiner este un reputat analist de formare al Societății Britanice de Psihanaliză, activând în practică privată în Londra. Recunoscut la nivel internațional pentru contribuțiile sale la teoria Kleiniană, Steiner s-a specializat în studiul mecanismelor de apărare complexe și al structurilor patologice ale personalității. Lucrările sale sunt puncte de referință în literatura de specialitate, fiind apreciate pentru rigoarea clinică și capacitatea de a sintetiza concepte dificile din opera lui Melanie Klein și Herbert Rosenfeld în contextul practicii moderne.


Descriere scurtă

Seeing and Being Seen: Emerging from a Psychic Retreat examines the themes that surface when considering clinical situations where patients feel stuck and where a failure to develop impedes the progress of analysis.
This book analyses the anxieties and challenges confronted by patients as they begin to emerge from the protection of psychic retreats. Divided into three parts, areas of discussion include:
  • embarrassment, shame, and humiliation
  • helplessness, power, and dominance
  • mourning, melancholia, and the repetition compulsion.
As well as offering fresh ideas, Steiner bases his creative and integrative efforts on previous contributions by psychoanalysts including Freud, Klein, Rosenfeld, and Bion. As such, this book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, clinical psychotherapists, and all those with an interest in the psychoanalytic field.

Recenzii

"After the great success of Psychic Retreats, published in 1993, the appearance of John Steiner’s second book is very much to be welcomed. In this book, based on nine papers published between 1996 and 2011, Steiner continues and develops his thinking on change and obstacles to change along a number of fertile lines. One of the hallmarks of his work is his experience near and humane approach, where the strengths and frailties of both patient and analyst in the psychoanalytic relationship are examined." -Jane Milton, International Journal of Psychoanalysis
"John Steiner continues the explorations he began in his excellent Psychic Retreats. In the course of fulfilling his aims, he has also summed up and enriched contemporary insight into many other aspects of the work of psychoanalysis and has laid out a Kleinian approach to resistance that is up-to-date, inclusive, and detailed." - Roy Schafer, from the Foreword
"In this book... Steiner has given us rich clinical insight, grounded in his highly sensitive understanding of what he might call the facts of life: the reality of time and loss, of our dependence on our objects, of need and power, and finally of death. Throughout the book Steiner presents clinical problems that are at once vexing and ordinary—and shows us his extraordinary capacity to not only theorize the problem at hand, but to look closely at his own involvement as perhaps a part of the problem he is trying to solve. In describing patients as they emerge from psychic retreats, he has given us a beautiful testimony to the reality of doing analytic work—its strains, pitfalls, and possibilities." - Lynne Zeavin, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2012
"I found Seeing and Being Seen to be enormously useful, both theoretically and clinically. ... Most important, I found as I read this collection of essays, helped along especially by Steiner’s always vivid clinical examples, that I was frequently seeing my own clinical experiences in a new or different light, with possibilities opened up for movement and growth. It is hard to ask for more than this from a psychoanalytic book." - Jean Roiphe, Psychoanalytic Quarterly, October 2012, Vol. 81, No. 4
