Series Statement:
Routledge introductions to contemporary psychoanalysis
Content:
"In The Unconscious: A Contemporary Introduction, Joseph Newirth presents a critical and comparative analysis of the unconscious and its evolution from a positivist to a post-modern frame of reference. This book presents five theories, each of which offer different and important conceptualisations of the unconscious, and each of which contains a rich palate of ideas through which to approach clinical work. These psychoanalytic theories are thought of as spokes on a wheel emanating from the centre of Freud's concept of the unconscious. In addition to presenting Freud's development of the unconscious, Newirth includes discussions of Interpersonal/Relational psychoanalysis; developmental approaches to the unconscious including Kohut, Winnicott and Fonagy; Kleinian approaches to the unconscious; and linguistic theories of the unconscious including Matte-Blanco and Lacan. The last chapter illustrates the use of contemporary psychoanalytic concepts in the clinical work with a contemporary patient. The book encourages a comparative view of psychoanalytic theory and technique and aims to move to a more useful, generalisable concept of the unconscious for the contemporary patient. This book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychologists, and anyone interested in the evolution and application of the unconscious as a concept"--
