Description
Psychoanalytic Empathy explores the complex and often debated concept of empathy in psychoanalysis. Over the past twenty years, Stefano Bolognini has examined the philosophical origins of empathy and its development within the field.
The author traces the evolution of empathy from its early beginnings with Freud and the first psychoanalysts to its "rediscovery" in the 1950s, alongside changing views on countertransference. This book offers a valuable contribution to psychoanalytic theory, shedding light on the real complexity of the empathic experience.
Through his observations, Bolognini takes readers to the heart of psychoanalysis, revealing the transformative power of the relationship between patient and analyst. A rare and special moment for both parties, these subjective experiences are perhaps as unforgettable as they are elusive.
