Book Announcement by Steven Kuchuck (USA)

Kuchuck, S. (2025). A revolução relacional em psicoterapia e psicanálise (The relational revolution in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy) (F. Baptista-Bastos, Trans.). PsiRelacional – Associação de Psicanálise Relacional. (Original work published 2021).

PsiRelacional – Associação de Psicanálise Relacional, under the leadership of editorial team Hélder Chambel, Filipe Baptista-Bastos, and Paula Campos, has just published Filipe Baptista-Bastos’s Portuguese translation of Steven Kuchuck’s The Relational Revolution in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy   (2021, Confer Books/Karnac).

The Relational Revolution provides a comprehensive overview of relational psychotherapy in one concise volume. Kuchuck investigates clinical theory and technique as well as the challenges of conducting psychotherapy during the extraordinary twinned circumstances of a global pandemic and an equally widespread societal awakening to the consequences of systemic racism. Grasping this unique opportunity to explore the implications of therapists and patients simultaneously experiencing the same life events and crises, Kuchuck examines the impact of the therapist’s subjectivity on the patient and other hallmarks of relational psychoanalysis such as enactments, co-construction, self-disclosure and multiplicity, and relational perspectives on race, gender, and sexuality. This succinct introduction is thoroughly referenced to facilitate further research and illustrated with clinical examples throughout.
