Therapeutic Action An Earnest Plea for Irony

This book argues that properly understood, irony plays a crucial role in therapeutic action. It is written as an invitation to clinicians to renew their own engagement with the fundamental concepts of their practice. It investigates the concepts of subjectivity and objectivity that are appropriate for psychoanalysts, the concept of internalisation and of transference. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with the central concepts of psychoanalysis.Lear, Jonathan is the author of 'Therapeutic Action An Earnest Plea for Irony', published 2003 under ISBN 9781855759947 and ISBN 1855759942.
