The Psychoanalytic Anatomy of Surrender (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The Psychoanalytic Anatomy of Surrender offers an original psychoanalytic model of surrender, illuminating how inner structures that inhibit aliveness may gradually loosen through emotional experience, therapeutic work, and psychological transformation.

Through detailed clinical case studies and original theoretical contributions, the book explores surrender as a psychological process unfolding across multiple dimensions of emotional life-from rigidity, defensiveness, and control toward greater receptivity, love, gratitude, wisdom, and deeper engagement with lived experience. Integrating psychoanalysis with philosophy and broader contemplative traditions, Rickard develops a practical framework for understanding psychological transformation in both patients and therapists.

Written for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, scholars, and psychologically minded readers, this book offers a clinical and conceptual language for understanding surrender and its role in therapeutic growth, emotional development, and psychological aliveness.
