Psychoanalysis of the Psychoanalytic Frame Revisited - A New Look at Jose Bleger¿s Classic Work

Psychoanalysis of the Psychoanalytic Frame Revisited provides an in-depth discussion of Jos-leger''s work, broadening current knowledge and focusing on his significant contribution to psychoanalytic thinking. This work should prove especially relevant in considering the implications of changes in the treatment setting forced by the Covid pandemic.

This edited collection proposes a current debate on Jos-leger''s ideas on the psychoanalytic setting. The contributors here provide a broad overview of current discussions about the analytic setting, its clinical expressions and its technical management, engaging and transforming the concept of "encuadre" (frame). The book covers topics including early experiences, the psychoanalytic setting, symbiosis and applications in a pandemic. A common thread, Bleger''s brilliant intuition, runs through the book, and the tense relationship between the frame and the figure maintains its dynamics throughout.
