Self and Motivational Systems : Towards A Theory of Psychoanalytic Technique Hardback
by Joseph D. (Private practice, Bethesda, Maryland, USA) Lichtenberg, Frank M. (New York University, USA) Lachmann, James L. Fosshage
Part of the Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series series
Hardback
Description
In this sequel to Lichtenberg's Psychoanalysis and Motivation (TAP, 1989), the authors show how their revised theory of motivation provides the foundation for a new approach to psychoanalytic technique.
The approach in Self and Motivational Systemsemphasizes a finely honed sensitivity to moment-to-moment analytic exchanges and an appreciation of which motivational system is dominant during that exchange.
Throughout, the authors stress the creative power of psychoanalysis as a joint effort shaped by the intersubjective context of a particular analysand communicating and interacting with a particular analyst.
At the heart of the analytic relationship is the analysand's expectation of evoking a vitalizing selfobject experience from the analyst and the analyst's expectation, in turn, of evoking a selfobject experience of efficacy from his or her work with the analysand.
