Contemporary Psychoanalytic Practice

Author(s) : Andre Green, Editor : Litza Guttieres-Green

Reviews and Endorsements

André Green, one of the most influential analysts of our times, is well-known for expanding the field of psychoanalytic practice to the work with non-neurotic structures in a contemporary clinical model. This translation of his fundamental late developments concerning work with difficult patients is brilliant, giving us access to his thinking about the expansion of the Freudian paradigm and a renewal of psychoanalytic practice and technique. His expansion of the analytic frame by his introduction of the concept of “the internal framing structure of the analyst,” his extension of the notion of countertransference, and his offerings on the analytic and technical developments needed when working at the limits of analysability will prove useful for analysts and therapists at all levels who are engaged in the psychoanalytic treatment of difficult patients.

This book offers a precious opportunity to engage with André Green’s revolutionary approach on psychoanalytic theoretical and clinical practice. The texts were selected by André Green himself in the year prior to his death and were revised by his wife Litza Guttieres-Green. The book gives access to some of Green’s oral presentations to congresses and to many of the concepts that he introduced, such as the internal framing structure of the analyst, the dichotomy between the dream and the act, and the distinction between passivity and passivation. It is a privilege to be able to engage once again with Green’s world, now published in English with a scholarly introduction by Howard B. Levine.
