Therapeutic Connectedness: The Central Importance of the Unique and New Relationship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956864977)

This book is the print edition of an issue of the International Journal of Controversial Discussions and focuses on the recent book of Jane S. Hall, "The Power of Connection" published by International Psychoanalytic Books (IPBooks) New York 2022 (https: //ipbooks.net) Jane Hall with her writing fits this philosophy wonderfully. In a plain language, she tells the stories of an alive person, herself, in the act of therapeutic love and thinking about others, with others. Her evocativeness allows one to have a lively dialogue with a text that is quite open about the workings of her mind, her weaknesses, strengths and endless curiosity about fellow humans. In this issue, we will read the responses to her stories, thoughts and work by various psychoanalytic clinicians and scholars. I hope you will enjoy he dialogues in the following narratives as much as I did.
