| DESCRIPTION: In this book the Author
selects and presents eighteen of his most salient clinical papers. His
way of presenting detailed treatment cases is useful to the therapist and
reveals an original orientation based on his "five channel theory of psychoanalytic
listening", that involves listening and responding to the patient from
different stances or frameworks. Dr. Chessick reviews also the various
factors that he feels, from his 45 years of clinical experience, that are
operative in bringing about change in psychoanalytic treatment.
Chessick's study is personal and reveals much about the inner thoughts of the psychoanalyst as he struggles to deal with difficult problems, including impasses and failures, in the treatment. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Chessick is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Northwestern University and Senior Attending Psychiatrist at Evanston Hospital, in private practice of psychoanalysis and psychiatry for 45 years in Evanston, Illinois, USA. He is also a Training and Supervising Psychoanalist at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Study in Chicago and a Fellow of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis.
