Reflections on Contemporary Psychoanalytic Thought: The Lisbon Lectures (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781800131132)

Over the past decade, the Portuguese Psychoanalytical Society took the opportunity to restructure and redefine their organisation. As part of this process, they invited outstanding psychoanalysts from all over the world to present their thoughts, reflections, and clinical investigations. These conferences, workshops, and working groups helped shape the modern society, bringing in vibrant new ideas. The Lisbon Lectures showcases the best of these significant contributions with chapters from David Bell, Franco Borgogno, Luis J. Martin Cabre, R. D. Hinshelwood, Howard B. Levine, Andrea Marzi, Sergio Eduardo Nick, Leopold Nosek, Fernando Orduz, Eric Smadja, and Virginia Ungar. Each chapter begins with an introduction from one of the editors, Rui Aragao Oliveira, Maria Jose Goncalves, and Joao Diniz, which contextualises their impact at the time, the transformations they brought about, and their continuing relevance to the psychoanalytic community. Grouped into two stimulating sections - Psychoanalysis and contemporaneity and Theory of psychoanalytic technique - the book is an absolute must-read for all psychoanalysts and will be of interest to other mental health professionals, students, and anyone interested in engaging with contemporary psychoanalytic concepts.
