The Freudian Matrix of Andr-reen presents seven papers, never previously published in English, that will allow readers to more closely follow and more fully understand the development of Green-s unique psychoanalytic thinking.
The chapters in this book provide valuable insight into Green-s response to a perceived crisis in psychoanalysis. His thinking synthesizes the work of Lacan, Winnicott, Bion and other post-Freudian authors with his own extensive clinical experience, and results in a much needed extension of psychoanalytic theory and practice to non-neurotic patients. Green-s focus on drives, affect and the work of the negative and his introduction and exploration of the Dead Mother complex, narcissism, negative hallucination and the death instinct constitute a vital expansion of Freudian metapsychology and its application to the clinical setting.
The Freudian Matrix of Andr-reen will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in traini
