Review Lionells, Marylou, Fiscalini, John, Mann, Carola H. and Stern, Donnel B. (Eds.): Handbook of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis Pioneers of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis

  • Reviews the books, >Handbook of interpersonal psychoanalysis<, edited by Marylou Lionells, John Fiscalini, Carola H. Mann, and Donnel B. Stern […] and >Pioneers of interpersonal psychoanalysis<, edited by Donnel B. Stern, Carola H. Mann, Stuart Kantor, and Gary Schlesinger […]. Of all the principal psychoanalytic schools in contemporary America – Freudian or classical, object relations, self-psychological, and interpersonal – the last has stood at the greatest remove from orthodoxy, in part because its founders, most notably Sullivan and Fromm, were not closely linked to the institutional centers. The growing emphasis of world analysis on relational experience, however, as both an influence on personality development and with important implications for treatment, has thrown most of the schools closer together, and the rich contributions of the so-called interpersonalists have made this proximity of even greater importance. The two books prompting these remarks are the most complete and forthright statements of the interpersonal position available. They provide an opportunity to review this position, its gradually emergent effects on clinical work particularly, and the problems and possible solutions resulting. Of course, this interpersonal effort at understanding both treatment and the self does not complete the story. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
