Description
Winner of the 2014 Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Scholarship!A Relational Psychoanalytic Approach to Couples Psychotherapy presents an original model of couples treatment integrating ideas from a host of authors in relational psychoanalysis. It also includes other psychoanalytic traditions as well as ideas from other social sciences. This book addresses a vacuum in contemporary psychoanalysis devoid of a comprehensively relational way to think about the practice of psychoanalytically oriented couples treatment.In this book,Philip Ringstrom sets out a theory of practice that is based on three broad themes:The actualization of self experience in an intimate relationshipThe partners' capacity for mutual recognition versus mutual negationThe relationship having a mind of its ownBased on these three themes, Ringstrom's model of treatment is articulated in six non-linear, non-hierarchical steps that wed theory with practice - each powerfully illustrated with case material. These steps initially address the therapist’s attunement to the partners' disparate subjectivities including the critical importance of each one's perspective on the "reality" they co-habit.Their perspectives are fleshed out through the exploration of their developmental histories with focus on factors of gender and culture and more. Out of this arises the examination of how conflictual pasts manifest in dissociated self-states, the illumination of which lends to the enrichment of self-actualization, the facilitation of mutual recognition, and the capacity to more genuinely renegotiate their relationship. The book concludes with a chapter that illustrates one couple treated through all six steps and a chapter on frequently asked questions ("FAQ's") derived from over thirty years of practice, teaching, supervision and presentations during the course of this books development.A Relational Psychoanalytic Approach to Couples Psychotherapy balances a great range of ways to work with couples, while also providing the means to authentically negotiate their differences in a way which is insightful and invaluable. This book is for practitioners of couples therapy and psychoanalytic practitioners. It is also aimed at undergraduate, graduates, and postgraduate students in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, marriage and family therapy, and social work.

Dr. Ringstrom's book taking a look at couples work from a psychoanalytic perspective is the refreshing new update to the thread of books and approaches thus far for working with couples. He moves the work beyond the point of each partner recognizing the needs of the other. As Dr. Ringstrom lays out his six-step process for couples psychotherapy, he helps us understand and work with the newly emerging elements that had previously been dissociated in each partner, which are likely being enacted in the therapy. All new territory begins to unfold. Dr. Ringstrom's empathy and wit come through in his writing and his clinical examples. I would highly recommend this book to any couples therapist whether they come from a psychoanalytic background or not.
