A Spirit of Inquiry by Joseph D Lichtenberg

A Spirit of Inquiry by Joseph D Lichtenberg

Thoroughly grounded in contemporary developmental research, A Spirit of Inquiry: Communication in Psychoanalysis explores the ecological niche of the infant-caregiver dyad and examines the evolutionary leap that permits communication to take place

“With the graceful facility of masters, Lichtenberg, Lachmann, and Fosshage offer a thorough story of the developmental origins of communication and build with clarity their case for a flexible, resourceful, and empathically inventive spirit of communication on the part of the analystReaders at all levels will find here the freeing and affirming voice of senior clinicians who demonstrate how the interactive, nonverbal, and relational dimensions of the analytic process combine with apt words to reorganize experience, memory, and affect and to facilitate the emergence of reflective functioning and mutual inquiry.”

-Stuart A. Pizer, Ph.D., Author, Building Bridges (Analytic Press, 1998)

"Under the overarching themes of spirit of inquiry and communication this exciting book integrates many of the significant controversies of our time into a modern psychoanalytic approach. The authors provide the most up to date and broad ranging summary of human development available and demonstrate its application to modern psychoanalytic practice with lucid and varied case material. They have moved us along in our thinking by reconceptualizing some of the central but contentious issues in modern self-psychological and relational psychoanalysis. I found their arguments compelling and influential in my own day to day practice."

- Alan R. Kindler, FRCP, Training and Supervising Analyst, Toronto Institute for Psychoanalysis
