"Cyclical Psychodynamics and the Contextual Self articulates in new ways the essential
features and most recent extensions of Paul Watchtel's powerfully integrative theory
of cyclical psychodynamics. Wachtel is widely regarded as the leading advocate for
integrative thinking in personality theory and the theory and practice of psychotherapy.
He is a contributor to cutting edge thought in the realm of relational psychoanalysis
and to highlighting the ways in which the relational point of view provides especially
fertile ground for integrating psychoanalytic insights with the ideas and methods
of other theoretical and therapeutic orientations. In this book, Wachtel extends his
integration of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and experiential viewpoints
to examine closely the nature of the inner world of subjectivity, its relation to
the transactional world of daily life experiences, and the impact on both the larger
social and cultural forces that both shape and are shaped by individual experience.
Here, he discusses in a uniquely comprehensive fashiong the subtleties of the clinical
interaction, the findings of systematic research, and the role of social, economic,
and historical forces in our lives. The chapters in this book help to transcend the
tunnel vision that can lead therapists of different orientations to ignore the important
discoveries and innovations from competing approaches. Explicating the pervasive role
of vicious circles and self-fulfilling prophecies in our lives, Cyclical Psychodynamics
and the Contextual Self shows how deeply intertwined the subjective, the intersubjective,
and the cultural realms are, and points to new pathways to therapeutic and social
change. Both a theoretical tour de force and an immensely practical guide to clinical
practice, this book will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists
and students of human behavior of all backgrounds and theoretical orientations"
