Description: "Traditionally, two clinical models have been dominant in psychoanalysis: the classical paradigm, which views the analyst as an objective mirror, and the participant-observation paradigm, which views the analyst as an intersubjective participant-observer. According to John Fiscalini, an evolutionary shift in psychoanalytic consciousness has been taking place, giving rise to coparticipant inquiry, a third paradigm that represents a dramatic shift in analytic clinical theory and that has profound clinical implications." "Coparticipant Psychoanalysis brings crucial insights to clinical theory and practice and is a resource for psychoanalysts and therapists, as well as students and practitioners of psychology, psychiatry, and social work."--BOOK JACKET.
