Autorenporträt
BHASKAR SRIPADA, M.D., is a Board-Certified Adult and Child and adolescent Analyst who has practiced psychoanalysis in Chicago since 1980. A faculty member at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis since 1995, Dr. Sripada teaches, supervises, and has published widely in the field.He is the developer of Essential Psychoanalysis, a contemporary model that reaffirms Freud's core principles-unconscious processes, transference, and resistance-interpreting them through the lens of modern psychoanalytic insights and discoveries. Essential Psychoanalysis draws flexibly from various traditions, including instinct theory, ego psychology, object relations, self psychology, intersubjectivity, and new developments in neuropsychoanalysis. Offering a pluralistic and integrative framework, it values the perspectives of both patient and analyst. While Essential Psychoanalysis recognizes the importance of theoretical coherence for the analyst, it maintains that the true measure of analytic work lies in the impact the analyst has on the patient, helping the patient understand their suffering, facilitating change where possible, and fostering richer, more meaningful experiences of love and work.In his book, When Suicide Beckons, Dr. Sripada brings his model to life by providing an account of the analytic process. He presents a unique first-person narrative that alternates between the voices of patient and analyst, revealing his own evolving responses and memories. His forthcoming book, Psychoanalytic Supervision, extends this approach to the supervisory process. In both works, he emphasizes experience-near, first-person communication over abstract theorizing, focusing on lived experience and the personal connection between analyst and patient.
