The realms it covers include love, friendship, enthusiasm, courage, tact, resilience, and forgiveness, among others. Seminal papers on these topics have existed but remain scattered throughout the psychoanalytic literature. \u003cem\u003eGood Feelings\u003c\/em\u003e brings them together in a harmonious gestalt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is more than an anthology, however. Each paper is followed by a freshly written commentary that critically evaluates the paper and brings it in consonance with up-to-date, contemporary psychoanalytic knowledge. Issues of development, adaptation, psychopathology, and analytic technique, as these pertain to the positive dimension of affective experience, are elucidated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also deals with the broader and overarching issue of the 'goodness' that accompanies, causes, and is enhanced by the positive emotions in consideration here. Thus the ever-elusive and puzzling issue of psychoanalytic morality finds a place in the discourse, with all its rich and complex theoretical and technical implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that the contributors to this volume come from all around the globe (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, Germany, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, and the United States) and represent a variety of psychoanalytic cultures adds flux and spice to the optimistic message of the text.

The words seduction and ethics, which at first sight seem mutually exclusive, are thus, as Viviane Chetrit-Vatine shows, at the heart of the analytic perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eViviane Chetrit-Vatine takes as her starting-point an encounter, which is not necessarily consensual, between Emmanuel Levinas' thought and his conception of philosophy as ethics—ethics understood as responsibility for the other—and that of the psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche, who posits the first adult other as a seducer of the young psyche from the outset, due to the transmission of enigmatic messages compromised by his or her unconscious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe analyst's ethical position is re-examined and with it the feminine\/maternal origins of the human capacity for responsibility for the other. The question of the asymmetry of the analytic situation is no longer raised in terms of power, but of responsibility: responsibility for the analytic setting of which the analyst remains the guardian, responsibility for the analytic process of which he or she is an integral part owing to the effects of seduction inherent to the situation and to his or her own and necessary passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ethical stance of the contemporary analyst implies both the need to preserve \"good enough\" or sufficient distance and a readiness to assume affective responsibility for the other, this stranger, my patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607939989740,"sku":"9781782200543","price":77.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781782200543-the-ethical-seduction-of-the-analytic-situation.jpg?v=1778180633"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-the-international-psychoanalytical-association-psychoanalytic-ideas-and-applications-series.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
