Anastasopoulos and Evagelos Papanicolaou have gathered together
a distinguished group of contributors to focus on the therapist’s
participation in therapy and the influence of personal factors on
the therapeutic relationship. The majority of the papers grew out
of the proceedings of the fourth EFPP Congress of the Adults Section
in 2000 and explore the therapist-patient relationship with the
emphasis on the influence of the therapist as opposed to that of
the patient. Topics discussed in this collection include the impact
of the patient on the analyst, how the analyst’s clinical theory
and personal philosophy affect the analytic process, the effect
of the therapist’s dreams on the therapeutic process, the psychoanalyst’s
influence on the collaborative process, and intersubjective phenomena
and emotional exchange in the psychoanalytic process. Certain papers
focus mainly on theory while others are more clinically-oriented. ‘The
EFPP monograph series has established itself as an important source
of high- quality psychoanalytic psychotherapy papers. This volume
adds to its growing reputation with a group of papers that deals
with the analytic relationship from several perspectives, in particular
the influence of the analyst/therapist on the evolution of the therapeutic
process. This is, of course, a fundamental issue and one that is
hotly debated within the analytic community.’
