Opis

Yes, as Luis Hornstein says in the introduction, a psychoanalyst is a trajectory that is possible to observe in his own journey - through Theory of Ideologies and Psychoanalysis (1973), Psychoanalytic Cure and Sublimation (1988), Psychoanalytic Practice and History (1993) and Narcissism (2000); The Depressions (2006), Self-esteem and identity (2011), The current crossroads of psychoanalysis (2013), Being an analyst today (2018); a set of elaborations that allow us to glimpse his way of conceiving psychoanalytic practice. How to build a contemporary psychoanalysis, open to exchanges with other disciplines and to the challenge imposed by each socio-cultural conjuncture, without losing specificity and rigour? This work shows the panorama of a post-Freudian and post-Lacanian psychoanalysis whose critical pluralism depends on an insertion in a clinic that resists a globalisation that seeks to dilute the socio-historical conditions of the actual practice of psychoanalysis. Written in a clear and fluid style, but without falling into simplifications, this work will be an indispensable contribution for the health professions.
