Reviews
This book is a living paradox. A taboo is something we should avoid talking about, yet here any sort of taboo is openly described and discussed in detail. Sex, money, spirituality, ageing and the analyst's need to retire, what analysts say to one another behind closed doors about their practice, the analyst's self-disclosures and enactments, to touch or not to touch a patient--these are some of the issues this book deals with, and the authors of the various chapters are among the most distinguished scholars in the field. Really a book worth reading. --Paolo Migone, M.D., Editor The editors have selected authors who courageously tackle taboo topics by boldly articulating issues that cry out for candid self-examination. The result is a stimulating, nuanced consideration of inhibitions in exploring such matters as money (eg: holding onto patients for economic reasons, accepting cash payments), sexual arousal in the transference-countertransference, expressions of tenderness, the use of non-sexual touch, spirituality, telepathy, varieties of self-disclosure, deviations from the traditional analytic frame, age-related cognitive decline in the analyst, theoretical 'heresy', and other topics that typically are avoided in psychoanalytic training institutes. Clinicians of all schools and levels of experience will derive considerable benefit from this excellent book. --David L. Wolitzky, Ph.D, Supervisor
