INDEPENDENT TRADITION
Parsons, Michael (2014) Living Psychoanalysis: From Theory to Experience. First lines: "What does it mean to be fully and creatively alive?....Have psychoanalysts anything to say about this?" This illustrates the thread that runs through the weaving of this tapestry - of creative, original work.
(The chapter in this volume - An Independent Theory of Clinical Technique was first published in a relational journal years ago - Psychoanalytic Dialogues. This one is an expanded version of this very important essay.)
