Description: In this book Lawrence J. Brown offers a contemporary perspective on how the mind transforms and gives meaning to emotional experience that arises unconsciously in the here - and - now of the clinical hour. Brown surveys the developments in theory and practice that follow from Freud's original observations and traces this evolution from its conception to contemporary analytic field theory. Brown emphasizes that these unconscious transformational processes occur spontaneously in the blink of an eye through the "unconscious work" in which the analyst and patient are engaged. Though unconscious these processes are accessible and the analyst must train himself to become aware of the subtle ways he is affected by the patient in the clinical moment. By paying attention to one's reveries countertransference manifestations and even supposed "wild" or extraneous thoughts the analyst is able to obtain a glimpse of how his unconscious is transforming the ambient emotions of the session in order to formulate an interpretation. Brown casts a wide theoretical net in his exploration of these transformational processes and builds on the contributions of Freud Theodor Reik Bion Ogden the Barangers Cassorla Civitarese and Ferro. Bion's theories of alpha function transformations dreaming and his clinical emphasis on the present moment are foundational to this book. Brown's writing is clear and aims to describe the various theoretical ideas as plainly as possible. Detailed clinical material is given in most chapters to illustrate the theoretical perspectives. Brown applies this theory of transformational processes to a variety of topics including the analyst's receptivity countertransference as transformation the analytic setting the paintings of J. M. W. Turner "autistic transformations" and other clinical situations in the analysis of children and adults. Transformational Processes in Clinical Psychoanalysis will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
