{"product_id":"9781855757660","title":"The Analyzing Situation","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book Jean-Luc Donnet explores the particularities of the status of the method in psychoanalysis, linked to the specificity of unconscious psychic processes. If the method aims at ensuring a level of technical mastery, it must also make sure that analytic treatment does not become an “application” of knowledge. A modern conception of the analytic situation implies going beyond the classical pair of “setting-interpretation”. Starting out from the postulate of a transferential dynamic of the encounter, the author brings into play the pair “analyzing site-situation”. The “analyzing situation” emerges from the utilization, in a “found-created” mode (Winnicott), of an initial site constituted by a set of means put at the patient’s disposal. The analyzing situation includes patient and analyst in a self-organizing structure. The notion of a site makes it possible to approach the difference between psychoanalysis and analytic psychotherapy differently: each site has a “logic”, an intrinsic functional coherence, which have their own incidence on the therapeutic process. In the second part of the book, which ends with analysis of an essential screen-memory ‘A Child Is Being Talked About’, the author also presents four other texts: a vertiginous study of Conrad’s novel, \u003ci\u003eLord Jim\u003c\/i\u003e; a new exploration of “tender humour”; a moving reading of Freud’s \u003ci\u003eA Disturbance on the Acropolis\u003c\/i\u003e, and a radical approach to \u003ci\u003eCivilization and its Discontents\u003c\/i\u003e which reflect the central place he gives to the agency of the superego as a keystone of Freudian thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karnac Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058080694512,"sku":"9781855757660","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781855757660_p0.jpg?v=1763598437","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781855757660","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
