The rupture of serenity: External intrusions and psychoanalytic technique

traditional analyst/patient relationship. Certainly many things are destined to disappear, but the guiding thread of empathy, understanding, and acceptance which links the therapist with his patient remains unchanged and yet also flexible. Young patients have changed and we have to take this into account. The ‘alert’ in Goisis’ book is not a vague perception, but the constant reality on which his work as an analyst is based as it gets to grips with the Transformations of our time. These are the conditions understood by the ‘constructing’ referred to in the title. It is almost impossible to describe the entire book. The only way is to read it! In order to give a flavour of what the volume is about and of its ‘construction’, I will briefly discuss the book’s structure and its main chapters. In the introduction, the author describes the reasons that brought him to write the book. He begins by referring to a love song from a popular and sophisticated Italian singer, Ivano Fossati. The introductory chapter is followed by a theoretical section starting with the chapter: ‘Which kind of adolescence do I have in my mind?’ Then, the author continues by discussing crucial topics about the psychoanalysis of adolescent patients by talking about empathy, needs, the mind and the brain. In this part of the book the author enables the readers to fully grasp the theoretical foundations of his work as a psychoanalyst that has evolved over time. The book then transitions to a clinical section, where the author carefully describes, through a series of examples, the different phases characterizing the encounter between the therapist, the adolescent and his/her parents. The last part of the book involves the detailed discussion of a clinical case, from the first session until the end of consultation, which then leads to the beginning of therapy: it is here that the readers will get a real sense of how Goisis works with his patients. Without realizing it, in laying a solid path between past and present as an effective channel of communication between schools of thought, the author takes a metaphorical step backwards to place himself in the ranks of his beloved teachers, those who have taught him what a hard, unyielding and difficult road he is travelling. So it allows those who read the book and/or future generations of psychoanalysts, to use him as a reference point, to acknowledge him as being one of those who have generously recounted their clinical experience as a valuable resource for us.
