Book Announcement by Ingrid Pedroni (Italy)

In this book from Phoenix Publishing House, Ingrid Pedroni demonstrates through clinical examples how new epistemological paradigms have paved the way to an increasing integration of contemporary psychoanalysis with other therapeutic models and revitalized authors traditionally considered outcasts of mainstream psychoanalysis.

The first section of the book explores the integration of these different models, with special attention to moments of impasse in the therapeutic relation and how they are explained and worked through in a self psychological versus a relational framework. The second section outlines how the sense of self is created and enforced in significant areas of experience, such as creativity, spirituality and gender, and how this process significantly affects inter-relational dimensions.

Section Three centers on the treatment of couple and family relations combining psychoanalytic understanding with other modes of intervention. The final section deals with the treatment of cultural diversity, the universality of attachment bonds, migration and its specific psychic distress, and therapeutic interventions on collective traumas of war and displacement.
