Psychoanalytic Objects Near and Far Talking Cure (ePUB)

Touching upon the most sensitive nuances of the analytic encounter, Psychoanalytic Objects Near and Far combines a far-reaching theoretical manifesto with an intimate clinical journal to express curiosity, skepticism and love towards the psychoanalytic clinic, theory and history.
Basic concepts and controversies that often become a conceptual ivory tower receive here a new and fresh vitality from the perspective of an experienced clinician, scholar and teacher, all while crossing the boundary of theoretical fantasy. While holding theory as central to the clinical act, Rolnik does not see it as a self-sufficient philosophy, detached from the free spirit of psychoanalysis as a practice and ethics. Rolnik has no need for iconoclasm. He is committed to the curative speech - his patients' and his own - as well as receptiveness to the unconscious space in the most Freudian sense of the word.
This volume will be of great interest to analysts in practice and in training, and to any reader interested in the analytic process.
