Synopsis "Psychoanalysis: A Critical Introduction (in English)"
Psychoanalysis: A Critical Introduction is a clearly writtenand accessible introduction to the main schools of psychoanalysisand the practice of psychotherapy. Unusually, it is written by anacademic sociologist specializing in social theory who is also apractising psychotherapist. Craib emphasizes the complexity ofpsychoanalysis -- an approach that works at many different levels.The unique contribution of this perspective is to understand thecreativity of the individual. Psychoanalyis is less about 'curing'mental illness or making people happy, Craib suggests, and moreabout the understanding of individual lives and about theimportance of thinking as well as feeling. Craib argues that psychoanalysis is a depth psychology and adevelopmental psychology, as well as enabling an understanding ofeveryday feelings and thoughts. He explores the work of Freud,Klein, Lacan, the object-relations theorists, attachment theory andAmerican self psychology, and feminist developments of Freud'swork. In the final section he offers an account of psychoanalyticpractice as a way of opening up a life and allowing it to developin different directions, and of enabling people to deal with theinevitable failures, contradictions and disappointments of beingalive.This fascinating book will bridge the gap between academictextbooks on psychoanalysis and the books written primarily forthose training in the field. It will be of major interest tostudents of psychology, social psychology, sociology and socialtheory, as well as to psychoanalytic practitioners
