The Intimate Edge: Extending the Reach of Psychoanalytic Interaction
by Darlene Bregman Ehrenberg
Category: Psychology

From an interactive perspective, the author proposes a "theory of therapeutic action", focusing on what is healing in psychoanalysis, whether or not it evolves from "technique". Using vivid case examples, she looks at the "intimate edge", intense encounters and playfulness in a way that is based in traditional psychoanalytic thought and yet open to the possibilities of the moment.
