Compendium of psychoanalytic technique, with its application to psychotherapy presents the essential elements of the theory of psychoanalytic technique and the exercise that derives from it, analyzing in turn its historical evolution. Psychotherapy has become an analytical problem in its own right. Although there is a fairly general acceptance of Freud's technical notions regarding the analysis of "neurotic personality organizations," the same does not occur with "preneurotic organizations" or "narcissistic organizations," such as personality disorders, limit (borderline), prepsychosis, etc., and that are the most frequent in today's practice. The reading of this book facilitates clear access to the foundations of current practice, presenting the essential elements of the theory of psychoanalytic technique and the exercise that derives from it. This text is especially aimed at psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in training, as well as other professionals and students of mental health.
