This book explores family interaction and family psychoanalysis from varying standpoints used around the world. It illustrates these with extensive clinical cases discussed from varying perspectives. The book is the first in a series of volumes from the International Psychoanalytical Association's Working Group on Family and Couple Psychoanalysis, drawn from its ongoing research into comparative theories and methods of working analytically with families and couples, and with varying types of family structure. It also applies lessons from family psychoanalysis to analytic theory and to the practice of individual psychoanalysis.

This long awaited book aimed at an international audience of practitioners, students and teachers of psychoanalytic couples therapy will describe the TCCR model of couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy drawing on both historical and contemporary ideas, including the author's own theoretical contributions. It will reference contemporary influences of other analytic approaches to couples, particularly from an international perspective. In Chapter 1, couple analytic theory is conceptualised incorporating unconscious determinants from the couple's pasts, the relationship in terms of psychic development, the difficulties in the present in being with an other, and the possibilities for the creative relating in the future. The aim of couples therapy is discussed linked to the internalisation of a couple state of mind. Chapters 2, 3, & 4 discuss the essential issues of assessment, engaging a couple in treatment and the specific couple therapy setting. Chapter 5 looks at a psychoanalytic understanding the couple relationship, expanding the theoretical ideas in chapter 1 in terms of clinical practice, for example the couples projective system, and the tension between narcissistic relating and creative coupling.Chapters 6 & 7 focus on technique e.g. transference, countertransference, interpretation and other couple interventions. Chapter 8 looks at what ending means in couples analytic therapy.The final chapter provides a glossary of terms for the developing terminology in the couple analytic field.

This collection of contemporary clinically-oriented papers covers a range of theoretical approaches to the fundamentally important technical issue of interpretation. It offers thought-provoking, cross-cultural clinical perspectives about interpretation with illustrations from cutting edge clinical practice with couples and families. Divided into three sections, the first part of the book examines interpretation within the broader field of psychoanalysis, and notes how it has been applied to couple and family psychoanalysis. Part II considers the current use of interpretation with couples, including how it informs assessment, while Part III focuses on its application with families and considers a broad range of key topics, including the nature of family, social and intergenerational links, the arrival of a newborn, same sex couples’ families, bereavement in a family, and families with adolescent children. Each chapter includes a lively discussion piece. Interpretation in Couple and Family Psychoanalysis: Cross-Cultural Perspectives represents a major contribution to the field of couple and family psychoanalysis. It reflects the fruits of an unparalleled era of global collaboration and the resultant re-shaping of approaches to clinical practice with couples and families. Mental health professionals dealing with couples and families will find it to have immediate relevance to their clinical work, either in their institutional or private practice.
