Reviews
The present volume is an important development and an up to date presentation of psychoanalytic couple therapy. It brings together the new contributions from a broad spectrum of psychoanalytic orientations, particularly, the London Kleinian approach at the Tavistock Clinic, attachment theory, and the relational psychoanalytic focus. The chapters detailing the application of Kleinian and Bionian thinking to the interaction between the dynamics of each of the partners, and of the unconscious relationship they have jointly created and that now dominates them are particularly significant. They present the new development of the original psychoanalytic frame of couple therapy conceived at the Tavistock clinic in the nineteen sixties. The American contributions constitute a creative counterpart, emphasizing the application of attachment theory and the presently growing interest in countertransference analysis and utilization. This book should be of great interest to all couple therapists, regardless of their theoretical and technical orientation. -Otto F. Kernberg, M.D., psychoanalyst and Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College. Couples on the Couch is an excellent, scholarly, and timely work. Applying depth psychology to our most intimate conundrums, this work also has far reaching social implications. It is an eloquent force of resistance to cyber culture, an analysis of the breakdown of love. This book restores our hope in humane and human contact. -Sue Grand, Ph.D., New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. This elegant new volume of essays on psychoanalytic work with couples represents a true marriage of ideas. In the book, UK and US therapists have a creative transatlantic conversation which brings to life and illuminates the theoretical and technical model developed by Tavistock Relationships (formerly known as The Tavistock Centre for Relationships) over the last 70 years. These essays represent essential and rewarding reading for experienced and new therapists wishing to deepen their understanding and practice with couples. -Susanna Abse, Consultant Psychoanalytic Couple Psychotherapist and CEO of Tavistock Relationships (2006-16).
