Description

The Psychoanalyst's Superegos, Ego Ideals and Blind Spots: Understanding the Emotional Limitations of Clinicians When treating patients, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts enter a unique emotional relationship. Despite their experience, their own personalities can influence their ability to fully understand and respond to their patients. This book explores the ways in which clinicians' personalities can limit their sensitivity and effectiveness. Vic Sedlak examines the role of the superego and ego ideals in shaping clinicians' thoughts and actions. He discusses how these forces can impact treatment outcomes, supervision, and the development of new psychoanalytic techniques. The book also highlights the challenges of recognizing and managing hostility, a crucial aspect of clinical practice. Richly illustrated with clinical examples, this book provides a valuable insight into the unconscious forces that can hinder clinical effectiveness. By understanding these limitations, practitioners can improve their skills and provide better care for their patients.
