Description: Psychic Threats and Somatic Shelters : Attuning to the Body in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Dialogue, Paperback by Yarom, Nitza, ISBN 0415835224, ISBN-13 9780415835220, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Designed for psychoanalysts in clinical practice, this book is by a retired Israeli psychoanalyst and psychotherapist. Psychoanalysis has traditionally treated its patients as if bodies did not exist, and the material world as only a projection of a patient's psychic issues. The author of this book keeps to the basic psychoanalytic faith, considering both the body and sensory perception to be projections of the patient's mental health issues. The first section of th looks at physical symptoms (including physical illness) as psychic ones. The second looks at basic attention to sensory awareness and non-verbal communication; the analyst is then equipped to judge and critique both the patient's subjectivity and their body. For traditional psychoanalysts, th's message is that consciously acknowledging the fact that both the patient and the analyst have bodies can improve the power of the psychoanalyst in the therapy relationship.
