The Clinical Diary of Sándor Ferenczi

The Clinical Diary of Sándor Ferenczi

In the half-century since his death, the Hungarian analyst SÃ¡ndor Ferenczi has amassed an influential following within the psychoanalytic community. During his lifetime Ferenczi, a respected associate and intimate of Freud, unleashed widely disputed ideas that influenced greatly the evolution of modern psychoanalytic technique and practice. In a sequence of short, condensed entries, SÃ¡ndor Ferencziâ€™s Diary records self-critical reflections on conventional theoryâ€•as well as criticisms of Ferencziâ€™s own experiments with techniqueâ€•and his obstinate struggle to divest himself and psychoanalysis of professional hypocrisy. From these pages emerges a hitherto unheard voice, speaking to his heirs with startling candor and forceful originalityâ€•a voice that still resonates in the continuing debates over the nature of the relationship in psychoanalytic practice.
