Description
Self-Analysis is a fascinating reprise on the mode of disciplined self-inquiry that gave rise to psychoanalysis.
From Freud's pioneering self-analytic efforts onward, self-analysis has been central to psychoanalytic training and psychoanalytic practice.
Yet, only in recent years have analysts turned their attention to this wellspring of Freud's creation. The contributors to Self-Analysis represent diverse theoretical perspectives, but they share a common appreciation of the importance of self-analysis to the analytic endeavor.
Their papers encompass systematic inquiries into the capacity for self-analysis, examples of self-analysis as an aspect of clinical work, and personal reflections on the role of self-analysis in professional growth.
Among the questions explored: What do we mean by self-analysis?
To what extent and under what conditions is self-analysis possible?
How does it differ from ordinary introspection? What are the developmental antecedents of the capacity for self-analysis?
What is the role of the "other" in self-analysis? What are the relationships among self-analysis, writing, and creativity?
As Barron observes, the contributors to the book "grapple with the formidable ambiguities of self-analysis without either idealizing or devaluing its potential." What emerges from their effort is not only an illuminating window into the psychoanalyst's subjectivity as a fact of clinical life, but a far-reaching exemplification of the ways in which self-understanding is always a constitutive part of our understanding of others.
