New Frontiers of Relational Thinking in Psychoanalysis

A Meta-Theory of Being and Becoming

Herausgegeben: Roggero, Maria Pia

Beschreibung

New Frontiers of Relational Thinking in Psychoanalysis aims to take the reader into the depths of their humanity, to promote a creative process that the author calls 'consistency'. Consistency is a quality that enables human subjects to make themselves the starting point of their life, whatever this may be.

This book offers a thorough exploration of the place of relational thinking in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. Starting with an analysis of the social and cultural context in which psychoanalysis is currently operating, and of the fragility of the human subject, the author continues by examining the essential assumptions, theoretical strands and key concepts, such as 'consciousness of consciousness', and the I subject, which helps underpin psychoanalysis. New Frontiers of Relational Thinking in Psychoanalysis develops theoretical and clinical ideas through a review of classic references, in light of new scientific and sociological perspectives, to explore and promote the progress of human beings towards their 'consistency'.

This book will be of great interest to anyone wanting to understand the place of relational thinking in psychoanalysis now, and how it is likely to develop in the near future, attentive to the challenges of society. It will also be of great value to psychoanalysts, psychologists and other mental health professionals, both in practice and in training.

Rezensionen

"We are very fortunate to have Michele Minolli's quite remarkable book, Essere e Divenire, la sofferenza dell'individualismo, published by Franco Angeli in Italy, 2015 translated now in English. Minolli's psychoanalysis is ontological in the deepest, most compassionate sense of the word. He is interested in how we are able to be human beings just as he is keenly attuned to who we are becoming. Using his personal experience as a psychoanalyst, he turns his attention to the individual's ability for consistency - a rich, meaningful way of thinking about the vicissitudes of experience within oneself and with others.Minolli marshals a deep sense of philosophical, psychoanalytic, and cultural lenses on the process of being human." -Steven H. Cooper, Harvard Medical School

"A passionate, trenchant research into man's misery and nobility. The single, unique, unrepeatable human being who, starting from his non-chosen coming to life - limited to the biological, spatial, temporal, cultural and family level - can aspire to a substantial "becoming" and can with "head held high" take his "I am", consciously, with awareness and creatively, in open interaction with "the other" in the social, cultural and political context. A positive call to hope at a time in human history when every individual is likely to lose his bearings and sink into a vain, noisy, inconsistent individualism." -Gian Paolo Scano, SITPA
