"This book, by one of the leading North American psychoanalysts, shows us, in a clear and profound way, the vicissitudes of the transformation processes that occur in the intersubjective analytic field… The reader will be charmed by his original ideas…The richness of the text, his fascinating writing and the illustration with very interesting clinical situations make the reader feel included in creative relationships with the author and the characters of the text…."-Roosevelt Cassorla, author of The Psychoanalyst, The Theater of Dreams and the Clinic of Enactment, Siguorney Award Winner, 2017"This outstanding book is one of the most original and valuable contributions to appear in the field of psychoanalysis for many years. In a remarkably instructive, perceptive and lucid way, Lawrence Brown explores the instantaneous unconscious communications between patient and analyst that have transformative power and that lie at the heart of the analytic process and its capacity to effect change. This is groundbreaking work that should be required reading for therapists of every persuasion."-Theodore Jacobs, author of The Possible Profession: The Analytic Process of Change, and The Use of the Self: Countertransference and Communication in the Analytic Situation
