Ferenczi's Turn in Psychoanalysis

by Peter L. Rudnytsky (Editor), Antal Bokay (Editor), Patrizia Giampieri-Deutsch (Editor)

Overview

Hungarian-born analyst Sandor Ferenczi was long one of the most neglected of Freud's disciples. But Ferenczi is the analyst from that pioneering generation who addresses most immediately the concerns of contemporary psychoanalysts. In Ferenczi's Turn in Psychoanalysis, fifteen eminent scholars and clinicians provide a comprehensive and rigorous reexamination of Ferenczi's legacy.

Editorial Reviews

Scholars and clinicians from six different countries examine the legacy of one of Freud's disciples and discuss his place in the history of psychoanalysis. In sections on contexts and continuities, disciple and dissident, and theory and technique, they explore the founding of the Budapest school, his work on negative transference and transference depression, Hermann's concept of clinging in light of modern drive theory, and the influence of Ferenczi's ideas on contemporary standard technique.
