Description
Psychoanalysis does not necessarily have to take place only in a psychoanalytic session with a psychoanalyst. The author is convinced of this as she outlines the possibilities of using psychoanalysis for independent self-work, whether between sessions or during breaks in therapy due to illness or vacation, as well as in the context of self-development. She discusses the driving forces behind neurotic issues, various stages of psychoanalytic understanding, the roles of the patient and the analyst in the psychoanalytic process, occasional and systematic self-analysis, as well as realistic expectations one might have and possible obstacles when undergoing self-analysis. ***** Very readable and with the awareness that the book is intended not only for professionals but also for patients in psychoanalysis or laypeople interested in self-discovery, she presents the basic points of her approach to analysis and guides the reader towards the practical application of psychoanalytic techniques for self-discovery, overcoming difficulties, and personal development.
