As an alternative, Grossman shows how attention to what he calls the syntax of thought can naturally define three different broad categories of life experience: the omnipotence of the neurotic, the wishful, short-sighted thinking of the perverse, and the concrete, disordered thinking of the psychotic. Using rich clinical material, interspersed with detailed exposition and artful satire, Grossman departs from conventional theoretical writing to provide new ways of conceptualising analytic therapy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAddressing analytic therapy as an encounter between two people, both governed by forces about which they know very little, this book provides essential insights for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and other clinical practitioners both in training and in practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLee Grossman\u003c\/strong\u003e is a training and supervising analyst at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis and a member of the editorial board of the \u003ci\u003eJournal of the American Psychoanalytic Association\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eHe served on the editorial board of the\u003cem\u003e Psychoanalytic Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e for 15 years.
