Review of A disturbance in the field: Essays in transference-countertransference engagement.

Reviews the book, A disturbance in the field: Essays in transference-countertransference engagement by Steven Cooper (see record 2010-09125-000). At the beginning of this book, Cooper states that he is interested in finding the common ground, clinically, between the relational approach and other schools such as the Kleinian, Freudian, Kohutian, and others. In the introduction, Cooper states he will be examining the moments of transition, change, and newness that occur in psychoanalytic treatment. He alerts us that although he is very interested in countertransference as a clinical tool and the analyst’s imagination as helpful in the therapeutic work, he warns us to not see these elements in any heroic or idealistic manner. Cooper promises to explore the areas of unconscious conflict, fantasy, and the interpersonal process and believes both patient and analyst try to hold these dimensions in mind and communicate with each other throughout the clinical process. Overall, the reviewer enjoyed reading the book but was disappointed in that Cooper’s outline of what the reader can expect does not unfold. What is offered in this book is interesting, and at times illuminating, but overall runs somewhat flat. There were numerous places where Cooper could have taken his discussion points and tried to build a new fusion of relational, Freudian, Kleinian, and Kohutian approaches but he did not. The reviewer found it interesting that his case material seems to be a standard yet very skilled and natural combination of such views, but he does not elaborate on any theoretical matters or examine his case material as being predominantly a combination of such views. Therefore, the reviewer thinks there are many helpful and insightful points made in this book, but he was never really moved in any particular manner by the text. When reading his case material closely, the reviewer was struck by it being solid analytic work that seemed mostly of a Freudian and object relational mode, but again not anything unique or anything showing a new method of consolidating different theoretical approaches, which is what we were promised early on. The reviewer's overall reaction to this new book is that he is very appreciative of many individual chapters, and many sections of certain chapters, but they never all came together as a whole or jelled as a unifying theme that felt new and transformative.

Review of The analysis of the transference in the here and now and Essential papers on transference analysis.

Reviews the books, The analysis of the transference in the here and now by Gregory Bauer (see record 1994-97149-000) and Essential papers on transference analysis, also by Gregory Bauer (see record 1994-97131-000). These are companion volumes which present an excellent, systematic understanding of Bauer's contemporary approach to Here and Now Transference Analysis in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic practice. The here-and-now method highlights the use of the affective immediacy of the relationship between the patient and therapist to "clarify, explore and modify interpersonal conflict rather than as a springboard for discussing the genetic determinants of conflict." Bauer focuses on reactions and behavior patterns that are transference based, as opposed to focusing on the transference neurosis seen as the systematic development and interpretation of fantasies and attitudes that are highly organized and displaced onto the therapist. The former is viewed as a less intense variation of the latter; both are felt to be a part of the same transference continuum. Bauer's volumes provide the clinician with an excellent overview and primer on Here and Now transference analysis, as well as its history, conceptual underpinnings and techniques for using it in the therapeutic relationship. The analytic and psychodynamic practitioner alike will find these books an invaluable addition to their professional libraries. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Review of Freud and the Rat Man.

Reviews the book, Freud and the Rat Man by Patrick J. Mahony (1986). Mahony has three general aims in this book. One, his main purpose, is to show how dynamic, transference, and countertransference issues influence Freud's expressive style and are also revealed in the linguistic and para-linguistic characteristics of patient/therapist verbal interactions. His second aim is to demonstrate the inadequacy of much of Strachey's English translation of Freud's writings. The third, and, in the view of this reader, the most interesting theme of the book focuses on the degree of congruence between Freud's process notes and the published case history of the Rat Man. One finds in this book two contradictory stances--on the one hand, there is Mahony the skeptic uncovering inaccuracies in Freud's published case history and raising some critical issues. On the other hand, a good part of the book reflects some of the difficulties that afflict a good deal of psychoanalytic writing--difficulties that, given Mahony's impressive critical abilities, one would have expected him to avoid.

Transference: Psychic reality and material reality.

This article explores the impact of material reality in the form of the analyst's unrecognized and enacted countertransference on a patient's psychic reality (PR) as it presents in the transference. PR refers to a patient's experience in the transference and to an organization of unconscious fantasies, encoded as compromise formations, that actively structures the present and can be inferred from the data of psychoanalysis. Clinical material is presented in support of the author's belief that PR plays the central role in the construction of the transference and that material reality can influence both the nature and form of the transference through the activation or inhibition of different sets of fantasies in the analyst and the patient.

Action in the psychoanalytic situation: Reflections on its relation to internal and external reality.

Contemporary sensitivity to the importance of the relationship in psychoanalytic work has led, in some instances, to an overestimation of "real" elements in the patient-analyst interaction and an underestimation of the fantasy aspects of the transference-countertransference relationship. This emphasis on external reality overshadows the internal reality of the patient and analyst's experience, shifting the treatment focus from intrapsychic to interpersonal aspects of the relationship, and it tends to bias technique toward the provision of restorative internalizations in place of new understandings. The present article considers enactive behavior from the perspective of compromise formations, which make dangerous impulses less dangerous and ego-syntonic. The article also highlights some issues that arise when internalization mechanisms are assumed to underlie clinical outcome. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Review of Comprehensive Handbook of Psychotherapy: Vol. 1. Psychodynamic/Object Relations.

This initial volume is an introduction to a four-volume work. The text consists of 25 chapters, organized into six different sections. The first three sections address psychotherapy for three different age stratifications: children, adolescents, and adults. Sections IV and V address couples and family therapy, and group therapy, respectively. The closing section (VI) addresses "special topics," which turn out to include group interventions in therapeutic communities, cardiac patients, and ethnic and gender topics, as these have a bearing on transference in psychotherapy. This is followed by a closing summary of the entire volume by the editor. The reviewer recommends this volume to psychotherapists of all persuasions, who are interested in expanding their horizons and perhaps broadening the applicability of their other techniques and formulations to problems of human motivation, conflict and pathology.
