Les médiations thérapeutiques comme le modelage, la musique, la peinture, le photolangage, le théâtre, la vidéo, ont connu un essor considérable ces dernières années. Souvent pratiquées en groupe, elles sont généralement assurées par des infirmiers, par des éducateurs, ou encore par des intervenants extérieurs, spécialistes de telle ou telle technique. Elles renvoient à des champs théoriques très hétérogènes, parfois même à des pratiques fort discutables. Dans ce contexte, il paraît donc indispensable d'interroger les présupposés théoriques de ces pratiques pour pouvoir en dégager les fondements épistémologiques et, du même coup, spécifier les conditions requises pour la mise en place d'un cadre-dispositif qui relève de la psychothérapie psychanalytique. Car, bien sûr, il ne suffit pas d'utiliser la terre, la peinture, la danse, la musique pour parler de médiation thérapeutique. L'objet médiateur ne présente aucune portée thérapeutique en lui-même, indépendamment du cadre et du dispositif. Cet ouvrage s'attache à définir la dynamique des processus de transformation mis en jeu par ces modalités spécifiques de soin psychique, particulièrement efficientes pour des patients qui ne relèvent pas d'un cadre analytique classique. Il témoigne de la force et de la fécondité de la psychanalyse contemporaine engagée sur le terrain de pratiques cliniques spécifiques, comme celle des médiations thérapeutiques.

"Unlike many presentations of clinical material, Inside the Session does not offer carefully selected examples of therapeutic dialogue that are conveniently chosen to conform to the therapist's views. Rather, it presents full transcripts of three entire sessions, enabling readers to see not just what went right, but where the therapist may have missed a crucial detail or may have intervened at the wrong moment. Inside the Session provides a rare opportunity to "look over the shoulder--and into the mind" of a renowned psychotherapist at work. The therapist in this candid and revealing annotation is prolific author Paul Wachtel, who intersperses the sessions' transcripts with insightful "at-the-moment" commentary not only on his clients' presenting problems, but also on his thoughts about how to proceed with exploring the clients' lines of thought, encouraging crucial insight, and effectively using restatements and simple words (and sounds) to facilitate dialogue. An additional key feature of the book is a comprehensive integrative framework that guides both the clinical work presented and the theoretical discussion that further illuminates it. Wachtel's well-known integrative theory draws on psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and experiential perspectives, highlighting convergences that are obscured by different terminologies and clarifying where the differences are real and important"--Publicity materials.

This work is about the deceptive nature of psychotherapy. In particular, it is about those therapies that claim to provide the client with insight and self-knowledge when in practice they are a means of social control absorbing clients into socially acceptable norms. Through a philosophical analysis of key concepts such as knowledge, insight, and subjectivity, and through an examination of mechanisms intrinsic to psychotherapeutic practice, such as power, interpretation, and suggestion, this monograph unveils how psychotherapy deludes clients into believing they have discovered their true self. Rather than gaining self-knowledge and insight into their true or core self, clients are subtly reconstructed and reconfigured along prevailing social values. Furthermore, the very epistemological and metaphysical world-view clients are deceived into believing is highly suspect and founded upon a fascistic understanding of knowledge. As an alternative to such domination, psychotherapy needs to reconstruct itself along Nietzschean-Deleuzian lines where the focus is on multiple identities, difference, and creativity. Rather than focusing on an analysis of past memories to alleviate symptoms such as anxiety or depression, therapeutic intervention should aim for a non-repressive conception of self-knowledge and insight based upon a creative future and not a regretful past. This entails a different understanding of knowledge and reality that is not based on subjugating the world to what we know about it, but on immersing ourselves within reality in all of its concrete richness. And such an approach is preferable not because it is “true” but because it is more liberating.
