Ferenczi Revisited explores Sándor Ferenczi's most significant contributions to psychoanalysis and their relevance for contemporary practice.
The book covers a range of topics, including Ferenczi's trauma theory, his technical innovations and his unique perspective on the end of analysis. Miguel Gutiérrez-Peláez also provides insight into Ferenczi's intellectual connections with figures such as Sigmund Freud, Donald Winnicott, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, and Sándor Márai, among others.
Ferenczi Revisited will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychologists, and psychiatrists-both professionals and students-as well as clinicians working with trauma. It will also appeal to academics and scholars of philosophy, psychoanalytic theories and techniques, the history of psychoanalysis, and the intersection of literature and psychoanalysis.
