285 S.; 21,5 cm; kart. Gutes Ex.; Einband berieben; leichte Gebrauchsspuren. - Englisch. - Hidden Conversations presents a direct and forthright challenge to current psychoanalytic ideas and practice. It introduces the radical and controversial reinterpretation of psychoanalysis developed in the 1970s by Robert J. Langs, an American analyst. The author argues that all psychotherapists and psychoanalysts should consider the communicative critique of standard psychoanalytic theories and techniques, and he provides a practical guide to learning how to decode and use unconscious communications constructively for those who wish to use the communicative approach in their own work. // David Livingston Smith is Associate Director of the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Regent's College, London. He practises as a communicative psychotherapist and is the Chair of the European Society for Communicative Psychotherapy.

Riassunto:

Hidden Conversations introduces Robert Langs radical reinterpretation of psychoanalysis by presenting and expanding his ideas in new and accessible ways. It is the first clear account of the theories underlying Langs approach, placing them within the context of the history of psychoanalysis and showing, for example, that Freud nearly discovered the communicative approach in the late 1890s, and that in the 1930s Ferenczi also anticipated the method.David Livingstone Smith illustrates this communicative approach with a wealth of practical detail and clinical examples, including verbatim accounts of communicative psychoanalytical sessions with a commentary on the unconscious processes underlying them.
