Description

This post-Kleinian exploration examines the poetic dimensions of psychoanalytic theory through detailed essays on Bion and Meltzer's work. The author investigates how the concept of catastrophic change operates within the analyst's practice, particularly in moments where memory and desire are suspended. Through close analysis of transference and countertransference dynamics - what Meltzer termed counter dreaming - the book reveals how aesthetic conflicts shape the unconscious reciprocity between patient and analyst. By grounding psychoanalysis in aesthetic and ethical principles, this Routledge publication demonstrates how the analytical process itself functions as a creative, poetic endeavour that transcends conventional theoretical boundaries and invites practitioners to engage with their work through a fundamentally imaginative lens.

Key Features

Analysis of transference and countertransference dynamics, including Meltzer's counter dreaming methodology and its clinical applications.
