Produktbeschreibung

Extending the Psychoanalytic Listening Paradigm: Listening with all the Senses guides readers through the nuances of non-verbal communication in the analytic setting.

Presenting a dialogue between three eminent psychoanalysts, this book is made up of numerous case studies and commentaries on patients presenting difficulties with symbolisation, including borderline and primitive mental states. Each analyst presents a different aspect of psychoanalytic listening - body, action, and speech - from a different perspective, before the three come together to analyse these situations. The authors highlight the importance of listening as a device for the analyst, showing how it is used not only to make the repressed emerge, to repair what is traumatic and to activate the continuity of the self, but also as a contribution to constructing the subject throughout the sequence of interactions with the other-than-self. The authors propose an extension of the concept of the unconscious and of the tools used by the analyst in the consulting room: the unconscious states not yet verbalised of the first experiences of psychic life are reached through listening to communications that use other sensory communication channels outside of the verbal.

Bookended by a preface from Stefano Bolognini and an afterword from Francesco Barale, this accessible yet thorough volume is a vital tool for any psychoanalyst or psychotherapist.

Catching the currents of the unconscious Brief reflections on the topic of
symbolisation at the origin of the non-represented Listening to the
negative: the analytic couple's implications for the psychic economy
Listening to forms of unconscious intersubjective construction Semiotic
gestures: "The murmur of things" A fundamental question: "Investigating the
caesura" Listening to the excess: "That nothing, that too much." A

Rezensionen

'In this book we find an ideal continuation of Bion's Italian Seminars, namely a book that tends to develop the capacity to feel and think with all our senses, allowing for the development of what will be conveyed in the narrative - something whose motto will be to extend the realm of thinkability to its furthest limits. It oscillates between Bion's A Memoire of the Future and Taming Wild Thoughts in a dreamlike dance between threads that are in the process of being woven, between the extensions of the senses and the ability to give word to embryonic states and to the narrative knots and their characters, where the narrative plot is coupled to the sensory.'

Antonino Ferro Past President of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society, Author of "In the Analyst's Consulting Room", Sigourney Award Winner

'It is an experiential immersion in the preverbal, in the atmospheres, temperatures, rhythms, and the bodily equivalents not recognised as such, but as they are experienced in a shared return [...] The Authors' writings introduce us into the experience of their inner laboratories, making us appreciate their atmospheres, rhythms, and styles, and the astuteness and elegance of their research. The illustrative, essential and illuminating clinical parts depict the various stories and situations with the trusty brushstrokes of the expert analyst, and provide the reader with numerous sensations of surprise at the depth of understanding they are able to instil.'
