Summary

In this book the author explores the particularities of the status of the method in psychoanalysis, linked to the specificity of unconscious psychic processes. If the method aims at ensuring a level of technical mastery, it must also make sure that analytic treatment does not become an 'application' of knowledge.

The Analyzing Situation by Jean-Luc Donnet

Explores the particularities of the status of the method in psychoanalysis, linked to the specificity of unconscious psychic processes.
'A most welcome addition to the growing dialogue between French and British psychoanalysisDonnet's comments on "the adventure of the psychoanalytic method", his distinction between method and technique, and his insistence that the "gap" between theory and practice is irreducible show the disconcerting but intriguing quality of his ideas. Studies of Conrad's Lord Jim, and some key texts of Freud's,complete a book that exemplifies the rigour and intricacy of French psychoanalytic thinking, always rooted in Freud while continually opening new perspectives.'- Michael Parsons, author of The Dove that Returns: The Dove that Vanishes
