Review
"Phyllis Meadow's The New Psychoanalysis is one of the surest guides to the vast social as well as clinical implications of the dual drive theory of Freud's mature years. This book is one of the most readable resources there are to clinical work and the psychoanalytic process." - Charles Lemert, author of Social Things, Wesleyan University"
Product Description
This guide examines the effects of the unconcious on emotional experience asking if our drives are freidn or foe in the search for a satisfactory life. It uncovers the bases of therapeutic action answering how a modern analyst uses the feeling level of communicatin to make the journey to health possible. Using case material, the author shows how an analyst uncovers the roots of anxiety and defensiveness using fantasy, dreams, enactments and all the other patterns of symbolic communication to restore missing feelings to language. The author calls emotional deadness the worst enemy to successful living and notes that not far behind are pathological anxieties and urges to extremes of impulsiveness. She raises the important question "why do we behave in ways that appear irrational if what we want is satisfaction in life?".
