Routledge Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis - Routledge Theory

Part of the Psychoanalytic Field Theory Book Series published by Routledge, offering contemporary perspectives on modern psychoanalytic theory and practice.

Written by established authors Civitarese and Ferro, whose long-standing scientific partnership brings depth and coherence to explorations of clinical work.

Incorporates extensive clinical material throughout, grounding theoretical discussions in real therapeutic encounters and lived professional experience.

Addresses diverse topics including dreams, ethics, emotions and aesthetics, demonstrating psychoanalysis as a multifaceted discipline relevant to human experience.

Challenges the notion that psychoanalysis is merely corrective, instead presenting it as an inherently pleasurable and vitalising practice for both analyst and patient.
