About the book: 2008 / In "Taming Loneliness" Jean-Michel Quinaudo presents a comprehensive approach to the experience of loneliness as a universal phenomenon that can be observed in everyday life, and in any therapeutic situation. In the first part of the book, the author, using a clinical example, outlines ways of expressing various forms of separation anxiety and its possible transformations during the psychoanalytic process. The second part examines in detail the main psychoanalytic approaches that are used in cases of separation anxiety. The third part explores some of the technical and clinical aspects of the problems that arise when interpreting this type of anxiety. Written simply and clearly, Taming Loneliness will be of interest to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
