Robert Waska Knihy

Focusing on resolving deep internal conflicts, this model of psychoanalytic work emphasizes the importance of maintaining analytic contact. It aims to unravel and modify turbulent thoughts and emotions, providing a pathway to healing for individuals grappling with psychological distress. Through its techniques, Modern Kleinian Therapy offers a structured approach to understanding and addressing complex mental health issues.

This clear and thoughtful book by Robert Waska provides an accessible introduction to Projective Identification and the role it plays in internal and external life. Waska explores how Projective Identification is the foundation for much of psychic life, driving internal phantasy, influencing interpersonal behavior, and contributing to the transference/countertransference environment. This book contains several case studies which explore and expand on the concepts described and which demonstrate how a psychotherapist can understand, contain and interpret the states patients seek help with. Additionally, this book introduces a clinical technique which is intended to tame the underlying emotional conflicts. Part of the popular Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, this book will be essential to students of psychoanalysis, as well as academics and practitioners familiarising themselves with Projective Identification in a clinical setting.
