Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In these essays, Bromberg explores engaging schizoid detachment from an interpersonal perspective. He discovers that accessing a patient's disavowed experiences often involves the analyst's internal conversation, where previously dissociated self-other interactions are released first in the analyst and then played out in the therapeutic field. This leads to further insights: beneath the dissociative structures in schizoid patients and other personality disorders, Bromberg frequently uncovers traumatic experiences, even in those not typically viewed as traumatized. This revelation reframes interpersonal notions of psychic structure, suggesting that severe character pathology conceals dissociative defenses designed to protect against trauma and avoid retraumatization. Consequently, this understanding reshapes the perception of dissociative processes as integral to therapy. Bromberg posits that the unexpected emergence of a patient's relational world, impacting the analyst's therapeutic stance, facilitates profound and fruitful analytic experiences. His essays are unpredictably engaging, illustrating how language can capture the nuanced shifts in clinical relatedness. At times, his writing vividly reflects the alternating states of mind of the relational analyst. Evocative and infused with clinical wisdom, this work is destined to be a classic, cherished by analysts and therapists for years to come.
