Traditional psychoanalysis relies on the presence of certain meaning-making capacities in the patient for its effectiveness.
Primitive Mental States
examines how particular capacities including those for symbolising, fantasising, dreaming, experiencing and finding meanings in those experiences, can be taken for granted. Many of us lack these capacities in certain dimensions of our minds making traditional psychoanalysis ineffective.
In this book, international contributors are brought together to consider a radical evolution in contemporary psychoanalytic theory developed from a combination of ultrasound studies, infant analysis, and observation of mothers and babies. These findings demonstrate how much mental life exists even before birth and considers unevolved, unborn and barely born aspects of the self such as the birth of emotion and the birth of alpha functioning.
Topics covered include:
prenatal imprints on the mind and body
difficult to treat patients
non-verbal, non-symbolic, disembodied states of being
early relational and attachment trauma.
Illustrated throughout with original data and extensive clinical discussions from some of the biggest names in the field,
will be a useful resource for students and seasoned analysts alike.
