{"product_id":"psychoanalytic-conversations-9780881633283","title":"Psychoanalytic Conversations","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this stunning addition to what has of late become a distinct genre of psychoanalytic literature  Peter Rudnytsky presents 10 substantive and provocative interviews with leading analysts  with theorists from allied fields  and with influential Freud critics. In conversations that Rudnytsky succeeds in making psychoanalytic both in form and in content  he guides his interlocutors to unforeseen reflections on the events and forces that shaped their lives  and on the personal and intellectual grounds of their beliefs and practices.  Rudnytsky  a ranking academic scholar of psychoanalysis and the humanities  approaches his subjects with not only a highly attuned third ear but also a remarkable grasp of theoretical  historical  and clinical issues. When his interviewees turn from autobiographical narratives to matters of theory and clinical practice  Rudnytsky is clear about his own intellectual allegiance to the Independent tradition of object relations theory and his admiration for John Bowlby and attachment theory. His willingness to set forth his own point of view and occasionally to press a line of questioning infuses his exchanges with an energy  even passion  heretofore unknown in the analytic interview literature. Rudnytsky consistently emerges as a partner  even an analytic partner  in dialogues that meld discovery with self-discovery.  To be sure  Psychoanalytic Conversations will find many clinical and scholarly readers among those who relish a good engrossing read. But it will have special appeal to students of analysis who share Rudnytskys belief that if psychoanalysis is to remain vital in the new century  \"it can only be by expanding its horizons and learning from those who have taken it to task.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652004306997,"sku":"ByrdShop_0881633283","price":123.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780881633283.jpg?v=1781848329","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/psychoanalytic-conversations-9780881633283","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
