The premise is based on the Aristotelian definition of friendship as a\u00a0<em>friendship of virtue<\/em>, as well as on insights stemming from intersubjective thinking, and observations about horizontal relationships in contemporary psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. A review of the scant psychodynamic and psychoanalytic literature on friendship is presented, and the author notes its marginal place in the lexicon compared with other more extensively studied relationships. Three clinical cases are presented to illustrate the potential of \u201cfriendships of virtue\u201d as paths toward positive transformation in the course of treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1057\/s11231-022-09389-0#citeas\">https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1057\/s11231-022-09389-0#citeas<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12618 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Guggenheim-pic-0623w.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"219\" \/>Noga Guggenheim, Ph.D.<br \/>\nGivatayim, Israel<br \/>\n<a href=\"mai&#108;&#116;&#111;&#x3a;&#x6e;&#x6f;&#x67;&#x61;&#x2e;gug&#103;&#101;&#110;&#104;&#x65;&#x69;&#x6d;&#x40;&#x67;&#x6d;ail&#46;&#99;&#111;&#x6d;\">Email Noga Guggenheim<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noga Guggenheim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":9,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[91],"issuem_issue_categories":[],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-12649","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","issuem_issue-bookshelf-june-2023"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
