| Sumario: | The communicative approach to psychoanalytic therapy, pioneered in the 1970s by Robert J. Langs, an American analyst, has aroused much controversy among analysts. Langs implies that psychotherapy is often harmful, with the words of a patient unconsciously revealing an unsatisfactory experience to the analyst. He raises many questions which analytical practitioners find hard to accept or resolve. Hidden Conversations introduces Langs's radical reinterpretation of psychoanalysis by presenting and expanding his ideas in new and accessible ways. It is the first clear account of the theories underlying Langs's approach, placing them within the context of the history of psychoanalysis and showing, for example, that Freud nearly "discovered" the communicative approach in the late 1890s, and that in the 1930s Ferenczi also anticipated the approach. David Livingstone Smith asserts that many psychotherapists and psychoanalysts are unwittingly damaging to their patients. He argues therefore, that all psychoanalysts should look seriously at the communicative approach, and his book will be of great interest and value to all analysts and psychotherapists willing to subject their own work to self-scrutiny. |
