  Psychoanalysis - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Psychoanalysis is a family of psychological theories and methods which claim to elucidate unconscious relations in a systematic way through an associative process.
Psychoanalysis as a collection of clinical theories was recast as a theory of interpretation and development with a focus on understanding how the varieties of nonconscious dispositions and actions influence a person's life in the form of transference and resistance.
A related early criticism of psychoanalysis was that its theories were based on little quantitative and experimental research, and instead relied almost exclusively on the clinical case study method.

 Psychoanalysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychoanalysis was first devised in Vienna in the 1890s by Sigmund Freud, a neurologist interested in finding an effective treatment for patients with neurotic or hysterical symptoms.
Psychoanalysis is believed to be most useful in dealing with ingrained problems of intimacy and relationship and for those problems in which established patterns of life are problematic.
An early and important criticism of psychoanalysis was that its theories were based on little quantitative and experimental research, and instead relied almost exclusively on the clinical case study method.

 Paul Wachtel, 'Re-examining the Relational Paradigm: What's New? What's Good?' (1/3)
For relational analysts and therapists in particular, the result is that their ability to creatively follow through on their most progressive and innovative ideas can be constrained and that potentially counterproductive clinical habits are retained that, on close examination, are inconsistent with those very ideas.
Psychoanalysis was, for many years, a therapeutic approach so thoroughly rooted in this new (and strangely different) kind of conversation that its virtual denial of the conversational heart of the enterprise was almost a defining feature of what it meant to be psychoanalytic at all.
As a consequence, the relational critique of Freud’s epistemology has tended not to be accompanied by as sharp [radical] a critique of his theories and, especially, his techniques.

Aron and Anderson's Relational Perspectives on the Body will be such a book: a masterful blend of essays on mind/body wholeness and its inseparability from the self/other wholeness that links the intersubjective world of patient and analyst in a shared psychosomatic reality.

Psychoanalysis reacted to this shift slowly and only after it had discovered that something had been changing in the very nature of psychopathological phenomena and psychotherapeutic processes.
After reviewing some current aspects in relational psychoanalysis’ dealings with the problem of multiplicity of selves, I shall try to document that many of those were foreseen in an almost forgotten paper by Heinz Kohut, which he himself left split off, unedited and unpublished.
Relational theorists (such as Aron, Bromberg, and Mitchell, to name but a few) take it for a fact that we are not talking merely about “(cognitive) representations of self; rather, they are each versions, complete functional units with a belief system, affective organization, agentic intentionality, and developmental history” (Mitchell, 2000, p.

Transactional psychoanalysis consists of applying the principles of the Roman school of psychodynamic transactional analysis to the individual psychotherapy setting.
This article proposes that Berne's focus on the transactional nature of psychotherapy foreshadowed later developments in psychoanalysis that have come to be known as "relational psychoanalysis." Relational psychoanalysis, which introduced the interpersonal and intersubjective experience into traditional psychoanalysis, brought psychoanalysis into a more interactive framework.

They assert that relational psychoanalytic theories of mutual recognition seem to require that patients recognize the subjectivity of the analyst as necessary for their development, and that becomes a form of moralizing toward the patient.
I think their argument is with some relational therapists’ tendencies toward confronting a patient, or aiming at a particular outcome for a patient, in the name of a different kind of “intersubjectivity” than that proposed by Stolorow, Orange and Atwood.
Given our shared commitment to creating relational conditions that are conducive to the elaboration of our patients’ experiential worlds, one realm of experience that would serve our patients well is if they could establish a confident capacity that they can “find” an “other,” and therefore themselves, through meeting the otherness of others.

The distinguished group of scholars and clinicians assembled here are largely preoccupied with tracing the theoretical underpinnings of relational psychoanalysis, its divergence from traditional psychoanalytic paradigms, implications for clinical reform and therapeutic practice, and its intersection with alternative psychoanalytic approaches that are co-extensive with the relational turn.
Because relational and intersubjective perspectives have not been properly critiqued from within their own schools of discourse, many of the contributors assembled here subject advocates of the American Middle School to a thorough critique of their theoretical assumptions, limitations, and practices.
These selected original texts represent three cardinal movements that span the history of modern psychology: psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the dynamic unconscious; behaviorism, with its emphasis on learning and the environment; and existential phenomenology, with its emphasis on the ontological dimensions of being and the lived experience.
