Roy E. Barsness is a Professor at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, the Brookhaven Institute for Psychoanalysis and Christian Theology, and the Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Group, Seattle. He was formally the Clinical Director at Seattle Pacific University and a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry. He has been in independent practice for over 25 years.

"Roy Barsness and his co-authors have undertaken the difficult task of presenting a text of Core Competencies in Relational Psychoanalysis to guide younger and more experienced therapists to an integration of theory and practice. The authors outstanding success lies in their skilled address of the challenge in Relational Psychoanalysis to offer an approach that is flexibly attuned to the individuality of each patient/analyst dyad while practiced with a disciplined intent, form, and rhythm. The what and how to do is presented in seven competencies with a coda on love – all becoming enlivened for the reader by clinical narratives. A difficult task well mastered."-Joseph D. Lichtenberg, M.D., Director Emeritus of The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, author of Craft & Spirit, Editor-in-Chief of the Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series."While reading this book, I felt like I had entered the mind of the relational analyst. Both the carefully constructed mindset and the overall honoring of the work comes through in every chapter. As a director of the Masters in Counseling program at The Family Institute at Northwestern University, I am always looking for texts that convey both the passion and the skill associated with analytic work to be an inspiration to my students. I have found it."-Francesca Giordano, Ph.D., Program Director, Clinical Professor, The Counseling Program, The Family Institute at Northwestern University."Originally a reaction against the constricting orthodoxy and authoritarianism of an entrenched psychoanalytic establishment, relational psychoanalysis has evolved into a sophisticated and comprehensive paradigm representing the leading edge of psychoanalytic thought. This masterful volume, with contributions by luminaries of the relational movement, elucidates the core assumptions and competencies of relational psychoanalysis. Simultaneously sweeping in scope and scholarly in detail, it is essential reading for students and experienced clinicians alike."-Jonathan Shedler, Ph.D., University of Colorado School of Medicine

   Utmärkt introduktion till Relationell Psykoterapi

   Med hjälp av grounded theory som är en slags empirisk, kvalitativ forskningsmetod har man konstaterat sju nödvändiga kompetenser för den relationella psykoterapeuten. Dessa sju har tillägnats var sitt kapitel i boken, skrivet av nio namnkunniga författare som tillhör grundarna av den relationella psykoanalysen bl.a.: Nancy McWilliams, Stuart Pizer, Lewis Aron, Steven Knoblauch, Karen Maroda. Flera av författarna betonar vikten av analytikerns djupa affektiva deltagande. Affektteoretikern Allan Schore, vars arbeten ger starkt neurobiologiskt stöd åt psykodynamiska processer, beskriver den ickeverbala kommunikation som pågår mellan patientens och terapeutens högra hjärnhalvefunktioner. John Thor Cornelius redogör för två missuppfattningar om psykoterapi: att det skulle saknas evidens för psykodynamisk behandling och att kognitiv terapi skulle ha en högre evidens. Många studier som talar till förmån för längre psykodynamiska terapier, framför allt när det gäller mer varaktiga resultat. Adrienne Harris har ett kapitel om den relationella traditionens bakgrund, historia, framväxt och kanon. Lewis Aron ger en beskrivning av och exempel på tillämpning av de centrala relationella begreppen Doer-and-done-to och det Tredje som han varit med om att utveckla tillsammans med Jessica Benjamin. Karol Marshall och Roy Barsness diskuterar definitioner och kategoriseringar av sexuella fenomen och diskuterar uppkomsten av dessa, ett ämne som är komplext och mer laddat och dynamiskt än någonsin. Jon Mills levererar en systematisk kritik av den relationella psykologin och får svar på kritiken från den relationella analytikern Steven Kuchuck, tillika nyvald president för det relationella nätverket IARPP (the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy). Core Competencies är en utmärkt handbok för den som vill skaffa sig en övergripande bild av var den relationella psykoanalysen står idag och som vill ha en praktisk introduktion till djupare studier på området.
