Narrations and interpretations -- Telling ourselves stories with, perhaps, a grain of truth -- In praise of row C : psychoanalysis as a particular form of literature -- Sexuality as a narrative genre or dialect in the analyst's consulting room : a radical vertex -- The waking dream : theoretical and clinical aspects -- Delusion and hallucination -- Characters in literature and in the analyst's consulting room -- Notes on acting out, the countertransference and the transgenerational field -- Child and adolescent analysis : similarities and differences that mask an underlying unity -- Play : characters, narrations and interpretations.
This is an examination of psychoanalysis from two perspectives - as a cure for psychic suffering, and as a series of stories told between patient and analyst. The author uses numerous clinical examples to investigate how narration and interpretation are interconnected in the analytic session.
