The themes of relevance (or acceptance) and dismissal (are central to our relations with other people and, therefore to our concept of identity. These themes of relevance and dismissal pervade the author's exploration of the core ideas of interpersonal psychoanalysis and his use of them in his clinical practice.
Part 1 The patient: bewitched, bothered and bewildered; out of our minds; laughter among the pear trees; restlessness of the spirit; touch and the genesis of hope. Part 2 The analyst: countertransference and misreading; the thrill of error; contradictions in the supervisory process.
Arthur Feiner has provided us with a personal account of his nearly 50 years of psychoanalytic practice. His style is relaxed and conversational as if chatting across a table. He liberally sprinkles his discourse with lively examples and metaphors from religion, physics, politics, biology, poetry and other fields. In general , this is a delightful, erudite, subtly scholarly, but intensively visceral review of the professional life of a seasoned editor, author, interpersonal analyst and mensch.
