Long-Term Psychoanalytic Supervision with Donald Meltzer is a detailed account of a particularly demanding analysis which Donald Meltzer closely supervised over twelve years. This will enable the reader to closely follow the internal life of a long-term, trying analysis. The reader can see how Meltzer's thoughts had crucially guided the course of this analysis in many of its most challenging moments, often redirecting it. By watching things happening, the reader is enabled to get a deeper insight into Meltzer's highly complex, though outstanding thought. On many particularly important points, the author invited Meltzer to give his thoughts and interpretations in his own words as if he himself was the analyst. This provides the reader with a unique opportunity to 'listen' to Meltzer verbatim.

Long-Term Psychoanalytic Supervision with Donald Meltzer demonstrates the often overwhelming yet fascinating complexities of mental life and will speak to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as those interested in the philosophy of the mind.

About the Author(s)

João Sousa Monteiro has been a psychoanalyst in private practice in Lisbon. He has worked under the supervision of Donald Meltzer, meeting him in Oxford every month for 13 years, and twice monthly for the last few years. Meltzer supervised all his clinical cases during these years. He authored Long-term Psychoanalytic Supervision with Donald Meltzer: The Tragedy of Triumph (Routledge, 2019), which describes in great detail the supervision of a particularly demanding analysis over 12 years. João has made five radio programmes on psychoanalysis, four of which are in conversation with distinguished analysts, including a co-founder and former president of the Portuguese Psychoanalytic Society. Four books came from these programmes, one of which he authored, and the other three he edited.
