Clinical Interaction and the Analysis of Meaning A New Psychoanalytic Theory

Clinical Interaction and the Analysis of Meaning evinces a therapeutic vitality all too rare in works of theory. Rather than fleeing from the insights of other disciplines, Dorpat and Miller discover in recent research confirmation of the possibilities of psychoanalytic treatment. In Section I, Critique of Classical Theory, Dorpat proposes a radical revision of the notion of primary process consonant with contemporary cognitive science. Such a revised conception not only enlarges our understanding of the analytic process; it also provides analysis with a conceptual language that can articulate meaningful connections with a growing body of empirical research about the development and nature of human cognition.Dorpat, Theodore L. is the author of 'Clinical Interaction and the Analysis of Meaning A New Psychoanalytic Theory' with ISBN 9780881631463 and ISBN 0881631469.
