Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series from The Analytic Press
The "new key" in which volumes in this series are written is an intentional focus on innovative and unsettling clinical thinking that, while contributing to the Interpersonal and Relational psychoanalytic traditions, grows from sources not usually tapped in the psychoanalytic literature.
The series encompasses ideas from other fields, such as trauma theory or literary criticism, and topics that are typically excluded from formal psychoanalytic discourse, among them: the role of the analyst's personal values in analytic work; the association between dissociation and criminal violence; the nature and treatment of massive onset adult trauma; the question of whether clinical writing can be expanded into the personal essay; and the almost universal tendency of psychoanalysts to ignore the degree to which they knowingly satisfy their own wishes during treatment hours, often to the patient's detriment.
