Review
Exceptionally well researched, informative and critical, 'Time in Practice' brings new light to bear on psychoanalytic theories of time. In this innovative and thought provoking contribution Mary Lynne Ellis traces writings on time from the major psychoanalytic thinkers of the twentieth century. Interwoven with reference to philosophy and feminism the text challenges the traditional developmental emphasis in psychoanalysis. The wide-ranging discourse is illustrated with pertinent vignettes from clinical practice. This welcome addition to the literature will appeal to psychotherapists from many different analytic schools. --Professor Joy Schaverien, Jungian Analyst in Private Practice, Author of 'The Dying Patient in Psychotherapy' and editor of 'Gender, Countertransference and the Erotic Transference'
The field of psychoanalysis is littered with miscellaneous assumptions about time and temporality and these assumptions, as Mary Lynne Ellis shows, are often badly flawed. With the help of phenomenological theories of time, together with well-drawn case vignettes, Ellis clears away much of the muddle and offers cogent suggestions for future work, both practical and theoretical... Readable, persuasive and well-informed. --Jonathan Rée, philosopher and historian
Time has always been a central issue for psychoanalysis, whether the legendary 'Our time is up for today' or (the equally legendary) Lacanian variation of the length of the session. Yet theorization of this key topic has lagged behind. In this book, Mary Lynne Ellis considers the many sorts of time with which psychoanalysts and their patients must engage. She addresses the similarities, differences and plain incommensurabilities between implicit and explicit psychoanalytic and phenomenological theories of time. The result is a work that anyone interested in this protean matter will now have to consult. --Muriel Dimen PhD, Psychoanalyst, Professor Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, New York University
Product Description
This book is an original exploration of the importance in the analytical relationship of an attentiveness to lived, conscious and unconscious experiences of time in its three dimensions. It critically discusses the diverse concepts of time implied in different writings in the psychoanalytic tradition, namely those of Freud, Jung, Klein, Lacan, and Winnicott. 'Time in Practice' highlights the limitations of spatial metaphors and the emphasis on the past as determinative. It discusses the contributions of modern European philosophical concepts of temporality. Eva Hoffman's interweaving of time and language in her autobiographical descriptions is shown to be crucially relevant to psychoanalytic practices. Exploring psychoanalytic notions of 'cure', the book emphasizes the importance of language and imagination in opening out future possibilities for the patient. Lively references to case material illustrate the relevance of its arguments.
