| Abstract | "Couple Work, Work with Couples provides a new exploration of psychoanalysis with couples. Éric Smadja takes two key approaches, firstly providing a metapsychological exploration of couple work--at intrapsychic-individual, intersubjective and group levels--and investigating love, being in love and the principal structural phases and psychic organisers of couples, then the work of the choice of conjugal object and its historicity. He also introduces and develops useful notions like the inter-transferential neurosis at work at the intersubjective level. Smadja then rethinks psychoanalytic work with couples, with reference to the work of leading French psychoanalysts, group analysts and couple analysts. The book highlights specific features of working with couples, like the creation of a specific analytic situation - "the therapeutic group" - then considers the benefits and expected effects of this kind of work. With clinical material from the author's work throughout, Couple Work, Work with Couples will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically informed clinicians working with couples"-- Provided by publisher. |
