In this book, Anna Maria Loiacono introduces the reader to the origins of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis, its most important concepts, and their clinical value.

Throughout the chapters, Loiacono navigates historically through the principles of Harry Stack Sullivan, clearly and succinctly outlining the ideas of those thinkers who followed, to the latest reflections of Contemporary Interpersonal Psychoanalysis. Illustrated with case vignettes, this book addresses concepts such as dissociation, differences between splitting and dissociation, countertransference, enactments, field theory, hermeneutics, the unconscious, the unformulated experience, self-disclosure, relational and interpersonal psychoanalysis, change and the use of the therapist’s subjectivity,  as they are currently considered in the interpersonal approach, seen from the perspective of Loiacono’s personal point of view and professional experience.

Part of the Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, this book is a vital read for all analysts in practice and training, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists.

Reviews

"Loiacono invites us on a journey of discovery. On the way, we learn how, where, and why the Interpersonal Psychoanalytic tradition was born and explore its central concepts through the lens of a consummate scholar and exquisitely sensitive clinician. Most importantly, we learn what Interpersonal Psychoanalysis can mean to us. All psychologically minded teachers, students, and practicing clinicians will benefit from seeing the Interpersonal movement through Loiaconos eyes."

Sandra Buechler, Ph.D., Training Analyst, William Alanson White Institute

"In this short volume Anna Maria Loiacono describes the origins of interpersonal psychoanalysis in Sullivans work and its evolution in the contributions of authors who built upon his ideas. The book is valuable because it offers both an account of the development of interpersonal thinking and a vision of the way it is seen and used in a culture very different from the one in which it originated."

Jay Greenberg, Ph.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, William Alanson White Institute Former Editor, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly

"Loiaconos book is an excellent, brief introduction to the interpersonal perspective in psychoanalysis, which has been part of the psychoanalytic world since the 1930s and continues to develop today. This compact overview will be welcomed by senior practitioners, and deserves wide adoption in courses offered by centers of training in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy."

Donnel B. Stern, Ph.D., William Alanson White Institute, New York, New York
