Description

This Routledge book offers a critical re-examination of psychoanalytic theory, tracing how foundational assumptions inherited from Freud shape modern clinical practice. The author challenges conventional wisdom by exploring how Kafka's literary work illuminates the borderline situations that psychoanalysts encounter with patients in impasse. Drawing on insights from pioneering analysts including Sandor Ferenczi, the text proposes alternative principles better suited to guiding therapeutic work. Rather than accepting inherited doctrine, the author demonstrates how reading Kafka alongside psychoanalytic theory reveals new pathways for understanding patient struggles and moving beyond therapeutic deadlock. This work bridges literary analysis and clinical psychology, offering practitioners and students alike a fresh perspective on the foundational concepts that underpin psychoanalytic practice today.

Explores how Kafka's literature describes borderline clinical situations with greater clarity than traditional psychoanalytic frameworks.
