Is there a baby in the relational consulting room? How and when can/should we try to hold our patients? What happens to the analysts subjectivity when she tries to hold?

In Holding and Psychoanalysis: A Relational Perspective (second Edition), Joyce Slochower brings a contemporary relational framework to bear on Winnicotts notion of the holding environment. Revisiting the clinical impact and theoretical underpinnings of holding, Slochower explores its function in those moments when ordinary interpretive or interactive work cannot be tolerated. Slochower expands the holding construct beyond the needs of dependent patients by examining its therapeutic function across the clinical spectrum. Emphasizing holdings coconstructed nature, Slochower explores the contribution of both patient and analyst the holding moment.

This second Edition introduces new theoretical and clinical material, including four additional chapters. Two of these address holdings impact on the patients capacity to access, articulate and process affect states; the third moves outside the consulting room to explore how holding functions in acts of memorial ritual across the lifespan. A final chapter presents Slochowers latest ideas about holdings clinical function in buffering shame states.

Integrating Winnicotts seminal contributions with contemporary relational and feminist/psychoanalytic perspectives, Joyce Slochower addresses the therapeutic limitations of both interpretive and interactive clinical work. There are times, she argues, when patients cannot tolerate explicit evidence of the analysts separate presence and instead need a holding experience. Slochower conceptualizes holding within a relational frame that includes both deliberate and enacted elements. In her view, the analyst does not hold alone; patient and analyst each participate in the establishment of a co-constructed holding space. Slochower pays particular attention to the analysts experience during moments of holding, offering rich clinical vignettes that illustrate the complex struggle that holding entails. She also addresses the therapeutic limits of holding and invites the reader to consider the analysts contribution to these failures. Slochower locates the holding process within a broader clinical framework that involves the transition toward collaborationa move away from holding and into an explicitly intersubjective therapeutic frame.

Holding and Psychoanalysis offers a sophisticated integration of Winnicottian and relational thought that privileges the dynamic impact of holding moments on both patient and analyst. Thoroughly grounded in case examples, the book offers compelling clinical solutions to common therapeutic knots. Clearly written and carefully explicated, it will be an important addition to the libraries of psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.

HOLDING AND PSYCHOANALYSIS

In Holding and Psychoanalysis: A Relational Perspective, Joyce Slochower brings a sophisticated contemporary framework to bear on Winnicott's notion of the holding environment. Revisiting holding's clinical impact and theoretical underpinnings, Slochower explores its function in those moments when neither interpretive nor intersubjective work can be tolerated. She expands the holding construct beyond the needs of dependent patients by examining its therapeutic shape across the clinical spectrum.

This second edition has been substantially rewritten to incorporate new theoretical and clinical material. Two new chapters address holding's impact on interior experience; a third describes its function in acts of memorialization across the lifespan; still another chapter updates the place of developmental metaphors in contemporary thinking and formulates holding's function in buffering shame states.

Slochower situates holding within a relational frame that encompasses both deliberate and enacted aspects. In her view, the analyst doesn't hold alone; patient and analyst together bracket disjunctive elements to establish a co-constructed holding space. The book pays particular attention to the analyst's experience, offering rich clinical vignettes that illustrate the struggle that holding entails. Holding and Psychoanalysis offers a clear and incisive exploration of common therapeutic knots and how weand our patientsnegotiate them.

Joyce Slochower is Professor Emerita at Hunter College and Graduate Center, the City University of New York, and the author of Psychoanalytic Collisions (Routledge, 2006). She is on the Faculty of the New York University Postdoctoral Program, the National Training Program of the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, the Steven Mitchell Center, the Philadelphia Center for Relational Studies, and the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California in San Francisco. She is in private practice in New York City.

RELATIONAL PERSPECTIVES BOOK SERIES
Lewis Aron & Adrienne Harris

The Relational Perspectives Book Series RPBS publishes books that grow out of - photo 2

The Relational Perspectives Book Series (RPBS) publishes books that grow out of or contribute to the relational tradition in contemporary psychoanalysis. The term relational psychoanalysis was first used by Greenberg and Mitchell (1983) to bridge the traditions of interpersonal relations, as developed within interpersonal psychoanalysis and object relations, as developed within contemporary British theory. But, under the seminal work of the late Stephen Mitchell, the term relational psychoanalysis grew and began to accrue to itself many other influences and developments. Various tributariesinterpersonal psychoanalysis, object relations theory, self psychology, empirical infancy research, and elements of contemporary Freudian and Kleinian thoughtflow into this tradition, which understands relational configurations between self and others, both real and fantasied, as the primary subject of psychoanalytic investigation.

We refer to the relational tradition, rather than to a relational school, to highlight that we are identifying a trend, a tendency within contemporary psychoanalysis, not a more formally organized or coherent school or system of beliefs. Our use of the term relational signifies a dimension of theory and practice that has become salient across the wide spectrum of contemporary psychoanalysis. Now under the editorial supervision of Lewis Aron and Adrienne Harris, the Relational Perspectives Book Series originated in 1990 under the editorial eye of the late Stephen A. Mitchell. Mitchell was the most prolific and influential of the originators of the relational tradition. He was committed to dialogue among psychoanalysts and he abhorred the authoritarianism that dictated adherence to a rigid set of beliefs or technical restrictions. He championed open discussion, comparative and integrative approaches, and he promoted new voices across the generations.

Included in the Relational Perspectives Book Series are authors and works that come from within the relational tradition, extend and develop the tradition, as well as works that critique relational approaches or compare and contrast it with alternative points of view. The series includes our most distinguished senior psychoanalysts along with younger contributors who bring fresh vision.
