(The International Psychoanalytical Association Psychoanalytic Classics Revisited)
by Carlos Moguillansky (Editor), Howard B. Levine (Editor)
Psychoanalysis of the Psychoanalytic Frame Revisited
provides an in-depth discussion of José Bleger’s work, broadening
current knowledge and focusing on his significant contribution to
psychoanalytic thinking. This work should prove especially relevant in
considering the implications of changes in the treatment setting forced
by the Covid pandemic.
This edited collection
proposes a current debate on José Bleger's ideas on the psychoanalytic
setting. The contributors here provide a broad overview of current
discussions about the analytic setting, its clinical expressions and its
technical management, engaging and transforming the concept of
"encuadre" (frame). The book covers topics including early experiences,
the psychoanalytic setting, symbiosis and applications in a pandemic. A
common thread, Bleger's brilliant intuition, runs through the book, and
the tense relationship between the frame and the figure maintains its
dynamics throughout.
Psychoanalysis of the
Psychoanalytic Frame Revisited will be of great interest to
psychoanalysts in practice and in training, as well as anyone seeking to
understand the work of José Bleger.
