From the Foreword by David Tuckett: ‘This book is very, very
important, particularly at the present time. It explores crucial
questions for psychoanalysts and, indeed, psychoanalytic patients.
What has to happen for a meaningfully psychoanalytic treatment to
take off and to become established as worthwhile? What are the
challenges in doing so? The authors report detail from eight years
of discussions of clinical material held in 45 workshops with up to
500 psychoanalysts from all over the world. Facing the challenges
for analysts and patients raised in those discussions, the authors
describe how they came to extend the diagnostic-type envelope
within which questions of first interviews have been hitherto
contained and to begin to question the essence of what makes a
psychoanalytic encounter "psychoanalytic. This book is a milestone,
even a watershed.""It takes two to create a psychoanalytic patient.
The subtleties of the momentous first encounter, the scene in which
explodes with full force the desires, fears and unconscious
phantasies of both partners has been researched in a systematic way
for the first time. Beginning Analysis: On the Processes of
Initiating Psychoanalysis and the previous volume Initiating
Psychoanalysis are essential reading for those wanting to build a
psychoanalytic practice. Beginning Analysis: On the Processes of
