Bromberg, P.M. (2025). Awaking the dreamer: Clinical journeys in contemporary psychoanalysis   (A. Zhuravlyova, Trans). Cogito Center.

This preface introduces Russian-speaking readers to the rich traditions of interpersonal and relational psychoanalysis. It first outlines the historical evolution and fundamental principles of interpersonal psychoanalysis, underscoring its focus on sociocultural factors, the therapist’s participant-observation, and the interpersonal field. It then transitions to the development of relational psychoanalysis, showing how it synthesizes interpersonal ideas with diverse influences: object relations theory, infant development research, postmodern thought, and feminist perspectives.

Finally, the preface illuminates the life and seminal work of Philip Bromberg, detailing his pivotal concepts such as multiple self-states, the nature of dissociation and trauma, and his distinct perspective on the therapeutic process, including enactments and the analyst’s authentic engagement.
