Key Ideas for a Contemporary Psychoanalysis Misrecognition and Recognition of the Unconscious

"These two books, [reviewed both Key Ideas for a Contemporary Psychoanalysis & Psychoanalysis, Green 2005] based upon almost fifty years of psychoanalytic practice and thought, deserve careful study, debate, and integration into our ongoing psychoanalytic discourse. They contain a wealth of ideas derived from the author's unique synthesis of clinical work and his close and compelling study of Freud. They are, for this reader, a powerful summation of Green's particular distillation and vision of psychoanalysis, reminding us of what psychoanalysis has been able to achieve, the point at which it has arrived, and what remains to be addressed. Taken together, Key Ideas for a Contemporary Psychoanalysis: Misrecognition and Recognition of the Unconscious and Psychoanalysis: A Paradigm for Clinical Thinking constitute the legacy and achievement of a consummate thinker." - Howard B. Levine, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, Vol. LXXVIII, No. 1
