Description: In Dramatic Dialogue Atlas and Aron develop the metaphors of drama and theatre to introduce a new way of thinking about therapeutic action and therapeutic traction. This model invites the patient's many self - states and the numerous versions of the therapist's self onto the analytic stage to dream a mutual dream and live together the past and the future as they appear in the present moment. The book brings together the relational emphasis on multiple self - states and enactment with the Bionian conceptions of reverie and dreaming - up the patient. The term Dramatic Dialogue originated in Ferenczi's clinical innovations and refers to the patient and therapist dramatizing and dreaming - up the full range of their multiple selves. Along with Atlas and Aron readers will become immersed in a Dramatic Dialogue which the authors elaborate and enact using the contemporary language of multiple self - states waking dreaming dissociation generative enactment and the prospective function. The book provides a rich description of contemporary clinical practice illustrated with numerous clinical tales and detailed examination of clinical moments. Inspired by Bion's concept of "becoming - at - one" and "at - one - ment " the authors call for a return of the soul or spirit to psychoanalysis and the generative use of the analyst's subjectivity including a passionate use of mind body and soul in the pursuit of psychoanalytic truth. Dramatic Dialogue will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
