Robert Caper, psychoanalyst and author of Immaterial Facts, A Mind of One’s Own, and Bion and Thoughts Too Deep for Words, talks with me about the difference between suggestion and interpretation, the non-verbal “song and dance” of the analytic relationship, and how psychoanalysis can help patients come to know their own minds.

Nancy McWilliams, renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst, author of Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, Psychoanalytic Case Formulations, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalytic Supervision, talks with me about the relationship between grief, unmourned loss, and depression, and how we might work clinically with patients who have a depressive personality structure.
