Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession
The Master work seriesDescription
This incisive work offers an illuminating portrait of psychoanalysis through conversations with practitioners, examinations of their methods, and reflections on the peculiar demands of the analytic relationship. It explores the tensions between science and interpretation, intimacy and professional distance, and therapeutic promise and uncertainty. With a characteristically probing, elegant style, the book considers why people seek analysis—and why the profession remains both compelling and deeply controversial. The result is a nuanced investigation of the ideals, contradictions, and enduring mysteries at the heart of psychoanalytic practice.
