"In The Feeling Intellect, Steven Groarke explores the overlap between psychoanalysis and philosophy in order to provide the first critical evaluation of the Independent tradition in British and American psychoanalysis"--
This book offers the first critical evaluation of the Independent tradition in British psychoanalysis, demonstrating convergences and congruencies in the work of Bollas, Parsons, Phillips, Ogden and others in the wake of Winnicotts reformation of the psychoanalytic domain. The book begins with Winnicotts comprehensive revision of Freud, under the heading of British object relations theory, and offers an original assessment of his contribution to psychoanalysis in terms of a detailed reconstruction of his phenomenology of life. Groarke then offers critical readings of post-Winnicottian work and goes on to explore aspects of contemporary Independent thinking.
