Rediscovering Psychoanalysis approaches the rediscovery of psychoanalysis from four perspectives, drawn from the author's experiences as a psychoanalytic therapist, supervisor, teacher, and reader.
Thomas Ogden begins by presenting his experience in creating a new form of psychoanalysis called 'dialogue as dreaming' during his analytic sessions.
Next, we explore the distinct and unique ways in which each supervisory and seminar group supervises and teaches psychoanalysis.
In this book, the author continues to rediscover psychoanalysis, closely reading a series of important analytic works.
Here he makes an original theoretical contribution by exploring, explaining, and extending the work of Bion, Loewald, and Searles.
Throughout this article, the author offers ways to revitalize and recreate the exchange between analyst and patient in each therapy session.
This makes this book a must-read for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and readers interested in psychoanalysis.
