Psychoanalysis    
(Photo Credit: One From RM) What is Psychoanalysis?Psychoanalysis In his book The Analytic Experience, Neville Symington notes that: "...is not a thing; it is a complex reality which is both intrapsychic and interpersonal, both individual and social. I can try to describe it, I can lead you to it, but you have to experience the reality of it. It occurs at the centre of your personality which is the source of all our actions and also the locus of all that happens to us." The Legacy of Sigmund Freud Forum hosted by the University of Richmond which addresses the legacy of Sigmund Freud in the 21st century.

Recommended ReadingThe Analytic Experience by Neville Symongton
Book Review (British Journal of Psychiatry) Cause for celebration indeed that psychoanalysis is so lovingly and lucidly exposed by Symington in a work that is a joy to read from beginning to end. Humanity and humour shine through this book, which amply demonstrates the author's rare gift for communication, rendering the complex simple without ever being simplistic. A must for the library, for psychotherapy reading lists, and for every clinician who is interested in the function of the mind and the potent therapeutic promise of the doctor/patient relationship.
