Intersubjective Perspective

By Robert D. Stolorow

Book Overview

This remarkable book is required reading for all mental professionals because it is the most comprehensive and articulate presentation about the recent changes in psychoanalytic theory concerning the inclusion of relational and interactional concepts. The authors' conception of a system of differently organized intersecting subjective worlds illuminates both the process of psychoanalytic therapy and the stages of psychic development. One of the central tenets of this innovative perspective is that clinical phenomena including all forms of psychopathology cannot be understood apart from the intersubjective contexts in which they take form. The intersubjective perspective provides a new methodological and epistemological stance that both calls for a radical modification of psychoanalytic theory and greatly enhances the effectiveness of psychoanalytic treatment.

If I had a handful of books in a life time this would be one of them. Filled with vignettes to illuminate the rich complexity of intersubjective theory, this book has brought clarity in darkness and hope for a better way forward in understanding the human psyche with direction and possibilities not otherwise considered. A must read.
