Books by Karen J. Maroda

This volume aims to demonstrate how interpersonal psychoanalysis obliges analysts to engage their patients with genuine emotional responsiveness, so that not only the patient but analyst too is open to ongoing transformation through the analytic experience.

A signpost of the relational turn in contemporary psychoanalysis, Karen Maroda's "The Power of Countertransference", published in 1991, is a systematic effort to integrate the need for mutual emotional exchanges, which may include the analyst's own self-disclosures, into an interactive model of psychoanalytic practice.
