The Fate of Psychoanalysis from Freud to Fairbairn and Beyond
Psychoanalysis was born from the drive. But it is in the relationship that it finds its destiny today.
This book traverses one of the most radical transformations in psychoanalytic thought: from the Freudian model, based on drive energy, to the relational turn inaugurated by Fairbairn, where the bond with the other constitutes the core of psychic life.
In a rigorous and passionate journey, Fulvio Frati puts theories, authors, and models in tension, questioning a decisive issue: are drive psychoanalysis and relational psychoanalysis truly irreconcilable, or is it possible to think of them together?
The result is a reflection that goes beyond simple historical reconstruction and opens up to the urgencies of contemporary times: the formation of the Self, emotional bonds, the function of care, the relationship between the individual and society.
A text that speaks to psychoanalysts, scholars, and all those who seek, in the complexity of the present, a theory of the mind capable of restoring centrality to the relationship.
The author, a psychoanalyst trained at the Italian School of Relational Psychoanalysis (SIPRe), offers a lucid and original contribution to the contemporary metapsychological debate.
