Full Description
In On Freud's "Remembering, Repeating and Working-Through" international contributors from a range of psychoanalytic backgrounds reflect on this key 1914 paper.
Each chapter considers an aspect of Freud's original work, addressing both the theoretical and clinical dimensions of the paper and incorporating contemporary perspectives. Bringing out all three aspects of the paper's title, the contributors consider the issues raised by the so-called change in psychoanalytic paradigm, from the classic central concern of remembering to a clinical experience which prioritises enactment and repetition. The reflections on this important paper demonstrate how it goes beyond technique to open new vistas on the conception of psychoanalysis as a whole.
On Freud's "Remembering, Repeating and Working-Through" will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and in training. It will also be of interest to readers seeking a deeper understanding of current Freudian thinking.
