Description

Seeing and Being Seen: Emerging from a Psychic Retreat explores the challenges faced by patients as they begin to emerge from their protective psychic retreats. This book delves into areas such as embarrassment, shame, and humiliation, power dynamics, and the repetition compulsion.

Divided into three parts, Steiner examines anxieties and difficulties that arise in clinical situations where patients feel stuck. He draws on the work of previous psychoanalysts, including Freud, Klein, Rosenfeld, and Bion, to offer fresh insights and creative approaches.

This book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, clinical psychotherapists, and those with a keen interest in the psychoanalytic field. It provides a unique perspective on the themes that surface when patients begin to leave their psychic retreats behind.
