The Plumsock Papers

Angebote / Angebote:

The Plumsock Papers are written by candidates and new graduates of the Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society (CFS) of New York. In publishing these creative papers, the CFS is passing the torch to the younger generation, ensuring the society's own longevity as an institution, and contributing to the vitality of psychoanalysis itself. In this rich collection of Plumsock Papers we read the creative contributions of young analysts attending to contemporary issues such as the co-construction of analysis, on-line treatment, analytic work with Asperger's Syndrome patients, the integration of different psychoanalytic theories, analytic work with older patients, and so much more. Many of Sigmund Freud's early students began their psychoanalytic training when they were in their 20s or early 30s. They were given a voice as young analysts and, not surprisingly, were extraordinarily creative and successful. The CFS has demonstrated great wisdom in creating a forum for giving new analysts a voice. The Plumsock Papers offer the reader an exciting preview into the creative spirit of the next generation of psychoanalysis. Daniel S. Benveniste, PhD - author of The Interwoven Lives of Sigmund, Anna and W. Ernest Freud: Three Generations of Psychoanalysis. "This collection of essays by Plumsock Prize winning psychoanalysts is a must read for psychoanalysts, analytic patients and others interested in psychoanalysis. Talented analysts invite the reader into their consulting rooms where they confront the challenges inherent in patients who are beset with remnants of anxieties from childhood, manifestations of overpowering drives, object relations disruptions, traumatic life situations, fragile defenses, less than good enough interpersonal relationships and poor compromise formations. Rich clinical examples let the reader form his/her own impressions of what the analysts think and say and reflect upon patient responses.The editors and contributors to this anthology, along with Ed Fancher for initiating the Plumsock Prize, deserve our appreciation for their role in keeping psychoanalysis alive."
