El propósito de esta obra, considerada por su autor como la continuación de La interpretación en psicoanálisis, es el de mejorar la comprensión de lo que ocurre entre paciente y terapeuta cuando se reúnen para lograr que tenga lugar un cambio psíquico en el primero. Según Coderch, la atención a la relación en sí misma permite captar, con mayor exactitud, tonalidades que hasta hace poco habían pasado desapercibidas por los analistas. A través de la exposición del modelo relacional, la interacción, la intersubjetividad, la psicología de dos personas y el diálogo comunicativo, el autor ofrece una herramienta de gran utilidad tanto para el psicoanálisis como para la psicoterapia psicoanalítica.
From the foreword by Steven Ellman, PhD: The reader who has not read the papers in this volume is in for a rare treat: the discovery of new worlds revealed within what were thought to be familiar spaces. I believe that those who have already read some of the chapters in this volume will have the experience of rediscovering precious clinical and theoretical gems that have influenced many therapists and analysts. In fact, Bach’s influence has quietly spread throughout the field often without various authors fully acknowledging or perhaps realizing his impact on their concepts. I feel certain that readers will share my excitement in reading the chapters in this current volume. Undoubtedly Bach is known for many other contributions to the analytic situation as compared to his statements about analytic trust. For example, he provides us with descriptions of several types of transference in the treatment of narcissistic patients. He features interventions to help bridge the various divides in narcissistic patients. He also points out that in the type of treatments he describes the “analyst's own narcissistic equilibrium is always strongly put to the test.” Thus, while I have mentioned that in all of his papers he implicitly describes the therapeutic situation, one might more accurately that he is always looking at the transference-countertransference balance that oscillates in the treatment of narcissistic patients. Of course, it is not surprising that he describes both sides of the analytic couch in sensitive detail. I venture that most (perhaps all) analysts will find important aspects of various patients exquisitely described and understood in this volume. In addition, they will find strong elements of themselves pictured and empathically brought to life.
En los diálogos que constituyen este libro se ofrece una visión de la terapia familiar junto a una madura auto-reflexión de los integrantes de la escuela de Palo Alto. El discípulo, Grove, consulta a su maestro sobre casos desconcertantes que se ofrecen a su práctica. El maestro, Haley, da por supuesto un concepto de ?persona? que se traduce en una preocupación constante por la sinceridad y la lealtad del terapeuta hacia su paciente, sus circunstancias individuales y sociales, marcando el íntimo entrelazamiento entre individuo y sistema. Por otro lado, los autores nos ofrecen un cotejo con las ideas iniciales de Freud en relación a su propuesta fundante: hacer conciente lo reprimido inconciente. Producen aquí un vuelco conceptual al sostener que lo reprimido es lo no dicho en las relaciones personales que en cada caso son las que ahora valen para el paciente. El sufrimiento debe resituarse siempre en el interior de una relación social que este habita.

Abend applies his considerable psychoanalytic scholarship, as well as his long clinical experience, to making a thorough, careful, and complete presentation of Freud’s essential ideas-- which is something not to be taken for granted: important elements of Freud’s work are all too often misunderstood or overlooked elsewhere. Abend never talks down to the reader; he does not shy away from detail and complexity. At the same time, he makes his presentation clearly and with a deceptive simplicity, so that it is always easy reading. Abend’s format is to trace the historic unfolding of Freud’s thinking. This is, again, a difficult task which is rarely accomplished with complete success, because of the many twists and turns Freud’s thinking took, not to mention the incompletions and even contradictions that Freud left standing. Abend gracefully unties the knots and connects the dots, permitting the reader to appreciate Freud’s consistent ulterior logic. Abend makes the well judged choice to take up only those developments in psychoanalysis following Freud that have remained directly in line with Freud’s thought. It is, of course, very much in keeping with the psychoanalytic understanding that what comes first has a profound influence upon what comes after to make as complete as possible a study of the elaboration that has taken place of the principles originally articulated by Freud before studying divergences and departures from those principles. As Abend emphasizes, judgments about what is and what is not truly Freudian are bound to be controversial. Confronted with the necessity to make difficult choices, Abend’s distinguished scholarship shines in his discussion of post-Freudian Freudianism. He offers neither too much nor too little, and shows that it is all of a piece. Abend has done justice to Freud’s enduring legacy. Readers of this book are given the very valuable opportunity to learn what that legacy is and why it has endured.
Ninguna teoría acerca del funcionamiento y estructura de la mente ha ejercido tanta influencia ni ha adquirido un estatus tan preponderante como la doctrina psicoanalítica, cuyas categorías y explicaciones no tardaron en convertirse en núcleo de un modo radicalmente nuevo de entender la realidad psíquica que ha marcado de forma notable el siglo xx. Editada por primera vez en 1895, LA HISTERIA fue la primera gran obra que publicó Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Dividida en tres partes, la primera incluye un trabajo introductorio sobre el mecanismo psíquico de los fenómenos histéricos, la segunda reproduce cuatro historiales clínicos y la última realiza una generalización teórica del método terapéutico desarrollado por Freud y J. Breuer para el tratamiento de las perturbaciones histéricas.
