It carries with it incisive and pivotal attitudes that aim to transform our understanding of therapeutic action and the change process. Here, \u003cb\u003eWilliam Coburn\u003c\/b\u003e offers a revolutionary and far-reaching counterpoint to the remnants of Cartesianism and scientism, respecting and encouraging human anomaly rather than pathologizing or obliterating the uniqueness of the individual person. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePsychoanaltyic Complexity\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e William Coburn \u003c\/strong\u003eexplores the value of complexity theory previously understood as an explanatory framework with which clinicians can better understand, retrospectively, therapeutic action and the change process. He further extends this sensibility by examining the ways in which such a rich theoretical framework can inform what clinicians can do, prospectively, to effect positive change within the therapeutic relationship. He persuasively argues that the medium of bringing to light new ways of relating, emotional experiencing, and meaning making resides in the fundamental attitudes derived from a complexity theory sensibility as applied to psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a variety of clinical illustrations throughout, \u003ci\u003ePsychoanalytic Complexity\u003c\/i\u003e is a radical corrective to reductionism and the more traditional presumption that the problem lies with the patient and the cure lies with the therapist. It offers a new language, vocabulary, way of thinking, and a new way of being with others that are pivotal in arriving at affirmative therapeutic change. This book is intended for psychoanalysts, clinical psychologists, therapists, mental health counsellors, academics and teachers who are interested in new trends in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William J.
