Telepathy in the Clinical Process : A Century of Psychoanalytic Mystery

Telepathy in the Clinical Process explores telepathy as it appears in the psychoanalytic process, both in contemporary practice and in historical contexts. The contributors explore striking dynamic and clinical data in considering how telepathy can express itself in transference and countertransference, its profound effect on psychoanalysts, and its frequent role in helping patients in treatment. From a wide range of theoretical persuasions – relational, Bionian, Winnicottian, contemporary Freudian – each author explores this phenomenon. Focused on the clinical process, the book contains examples from the contributors’ own practice throughout. Telepathy in the Clinical Process will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training. It will also be relevant to academics and students of psychoanalytic studies and parapsychology.
