Book Announcement by Jill Salberg (USA)
Developing psychoanalytic credos, a set of beliefs that inform how you listen and approach the analytic enterprise with patients, is in many ways the scaffolding of psychoanalytic training. Drawing upon Mannie Ghent’s original (1989) “Credo” essay, Jill Salberg asked 27 psychoanalysts to write their own credos and/or psychoanalytic journey.
Psychoanalytic Credos: Personal and Professional Journeys of Psychoanalysts represents a multi-theoretical and multi-generational grouping of psychoanalysts trained at different institutes, during different eras (grouped by decades, 1960-2000) and across cultures. They are drawn from analysts identified with Relational, Object Relations, Contemporary Freudians and Kleinian/Bionian perspectives as well as those who don’t easily fit categorization. The book serves to provide companionship to analysts in training as well as those post-training yet still evolving in their psychoanalytic journeys.
