This book is revised edition of a book with a new title previously published with Columbia University Press called Aboriginal Populations in the Mind: Race and Primitivity in Psychoanalysis, NY, 2003.
Translation into English by Andrew Weller.
In this text, the author recounts her experiences as a beginning therapist and the confusion that attended her efforts to treat Kay, a hospitalized adolescent. McCleary shows how she used theory both to structure the therapeutic encounter and to monitor her performance with it.
Guided by the conviction that work with extremely challenging patients promotes the psychological growth and increased self-knowledge of patient and analyst alike. The author chronicles the movement of psychoanalysis itself from the dissection of love into component parts to a synthetic grasp of its role in psychoanalytically informed treatment.
Areas covered in this text include: the conspiratorial timeless unconscious; a comparative perspective on sources of influence in American relational theory and British object relations theory; and a comparative perspective on sources of influence in American relational theory and ego psychology.
