Full title :Self creation : psychoanalytic therapy and the art of the possible / Frank Summers.

Summary

""Insight" and "Change." The problematic relationship between these two concepts has dogged psychoanalysis for a century. Building on the integrative object relations model set forth in Transcending the Self (1999), Frank Summers turns to Winnicott's notion of "potential space" in order to elaborate a fresh clinical approach for transforming insight into new ways of being and relating. Within potential space, Summers holds, the analyst draws on understanding derived from the "transference space" to construct a vision of who the patient can become. Lasting therapeutic change grows out of the analyst's and patient's collaboration in developing new possibilities of being that draw on the patient's affective predispositions and buried aspects of self."--Jacket
