Routledge - The Therapeutic Situation in the 21st Century

Expand your understanding of clinical practice with The Therapeutic Situation in the 21st Century by Routledge. This work builds upon the themes found in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Foundations to provide a systematic reformulation of core psychoanalytic concepts. As modern psychology evolves, this text examines fundamental ideas like transference, therapeutic action, and the role of psychotropic drugs through the lens of recent developments. It integrates perspectives from postmodernism, complexity theory, and neuroscience to offer a contemporary view of the clinical field. Leffert addresses critical areas that have not been explored in depth by previous psychoanalysts. Readers will gain insights into power relations within the analytic couple, social matrix theory, and narrative theory. By incorporating considerations of archaeology and other modern frameworks, this book serves as a significant resource for those studying the changing landscape of applied psychology and clinical practice.
