An Experience-based Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory and Practice looks at each individual as a motivated doer doing, seeking, feeling, and intending, and relates development, sense of self, and identity to changes brought about in analytic psychotherapy. It identifies three major pathways to development and applies Lichtenberg, Lachmann, and Fosshages experience-based vision to psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

An Experience-based Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory and Practice delves into the intricate tapestry of human behavior, exploring the multifaceted aspects of motivation, action, emotion, and intention. It adopts a holistic perspective, treating each individual as a dynamic and motivated actor navigating the complexities of life. By examining the profound transformations that occur during analytic psychotherapy, this book establishes a profound connection between development, self-awareness, and identity.

Drawing from a conceptualization of experience that spans from infancy to adulthood, this book identifies three primary pathways to development. It applies the rich insights of Lichtenberg, Lachmann, and Fosshage, renowned experts in the field, to psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Through captivating clinical narratives and insightful vignettes, the book elucidates the nuanced distinction between a person's response to a perceived failure, characterized by disappointment and the pursuit of alternative paths, and another response, marked by disillusionment and a collapse in motivation.

This comprehensive work offers a broad overview of an experience-based analytic conception of motivation, rooted in Lichtenberg's seminal work on seven motivational systems. It serves as a valuable resource for established psychoanalysts, as well as those embarking on the journey of psychoanalysis and clinical counseling psychology programs. By delving into the intricacies of human behavior and the transformative power of analytic psychotherapy, this title provides a profound understanding of the human psyche and its potential for growth and healing.
