Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the significance of spoken language in Freud's psychoanalytic practice, Ana-María Rizzuto argues that Freud's attention to the intrapsychic meaning of patients' words was pivotal in developing "talking therapy." This innovative approach not only provided insights into the unconscious but also laid the groundwork for contemporary psychoanalytic methods. By critically examining Freud's writings, the author highlights the dynamic verbal interactions between analyst and patient, revealing their crucial role in clinical treatment and the evolution of psychoanalytic theory.
