M. Guy Thompson, "Existential Psychoanalysis: A Contemporary Introduction" (Routledge, 2025)
A fascinating introductory volume, Existential Psychoanalysis: A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge, 2025) integrates existential philosophy with psychoanalysis, drawing on key
theorists from both areas and expertly guiding the reader on how to
incorporate these two disciplines, which may appear disparate on the
surface, into their clinical and theoretical work.
This unique
and accessible book sees M. Guy Thompson explore key concepts, such as
experience, authenticity, freedom, psychic change, agency, and the
pervasive role of suffering in our lives. Throughout, he draws on a wide
range of thinkers from both fields, including Sartre, Heidegger,
Nietzsche, Freud, Winnicott, Bion, Laing, and Lacan. Exquisitely lucid
and engaging, Thompson deftly brings the reader into thoughtful and
enlightening territory typically inaccessible to the general reader.
Although existential philosophy and psychoanalysis are often thought of
as incompatible fields, Thompson shows how they share far more in common
than is usually supposed. This volume will help clinicians, scholars,
and students of all persuasions learn how integrating the two
disciplines introduces a more personal and revolutionary understanding
of what psychoanalysis can be in the twenty-first century.
This
compelling assimilation of continental philosophy and psychoanalysis
will be of interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and
psychotherapists, as well as philosophers, social scientists and any
student of the human condition
