Witnessing And Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis and Witnessing intertwines aspects of the history of psychoanalysis with the development of Philippe R?abert's own thinking and clinical practice. R?abert's work invites analysts to reflect on the inception of psychic life. The author argues for a revisioning of drive theory and reflects on the psychic functioning of the analyst in the session. R?abert forces the analyst to see the necessity of standing witness to acts left unacknowledged. In his view, in analysis witnessing is crucial. With case material from the author's practice throughout, this book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training.
