New Frontiers of Relational Thinking in Psychoanalysis aims to take the reader into the depths of their humanity, to promote a creative process that the author calls "consistency". Consistency is a quality that enables the human subject to make themself the starting point of their life, whatever this may be. This book offers a thorough exploration of the place of relational thinking in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. Starting with an analysis of the social and cultural context in which psychoanalysis is currently operating , and of the fragility of the human subject, the author continues by examining the essential assumptions, theoretical strands and key concepts such as "consciousness of consciousness", and the I subject, which help underpin psychoanalysis. New Frontiers of Relational Thinking in Psychoanalysis develops theoretical and clinical ideas through a review of classic references, in the light of new scientific and sociological perspectives, to explore and promote the progress of human beings towards their "consistency". This book will be of great interest to anyone wanting to understand the place of relational thinking in psychoanalysis now and how it is likely to develop in the near future, attentive to the challenges of society. It will also be of great value to psychoanalysts, psychologists and other mental health professionals, both in practice and in training.
