摘要
Wallerstein examines what holds psychoanalysts together as common adherents of a shared science and profession. He describes what the diverse perspectives have in common and what differentiates them, all together, from all the other theories of mental life. The common ground rests in the shared clinical enterprise in consulting rooms where therapists relate comparably to the immediacy of the transference-counter-transference interplay with their patients. He applies these conceptions to clinical material of three of the major perspectives in the field: the ego psychological, the Kleinian, and the object relational.

An inspired if somewhat repetitive and uphill effort to bring together an international group of fellow analytic thinkers to seek out the commonality and scope of "our increasing psychoanalytic diversity or pluralism." Analysis of the 1990s is not the monolithic entity that Freud attempted to create. Wallerstein, a very prominent American Freudian analyst, first broached this subject in 1987, and it became the theme of the 1989 congress of the International Psychoanalytic Association. Wallerstein's 1987 address sets the stage for contemporary divergence by reviewing Freud's early disagreements with his followers, the Melanie Klein-Anna Freud controversy in London in 1943-44, and the subsequent differing threads of American development. This synoptic critique culminates in Wallerstein's own opinion that Freud's 1914 definition of analysis, i.e., the clinical theory of transference and resistance, is still the "common ground," and that the experience-distant metapsychology, which contains the diversity, is best viewed as explanatory metaphor. Eight interesting papers follow, representing, e.g., American ego psychology, British object-relations, Klein, and self-psychology theory. The following chapters assess these papers and discuss all the major figures of the present. Of interest to the analytic world for keeping alive modern debates within the discipline.
