Overview

"This is the first comprehensive work emerging from psychoanalysis correlating with a contemporary ""information"" paradigm and ""inter-penetrative"" world view. As such it examines interrelationships between forms of communication and the development of ""mind"" and conscious awareness, maintaining that these process-phenomena are integral to psychoanalytic methodology. Psychoanalytic situations here become research venues for a metatheoretical study of human communication from a bio-semiotic perspective that examines emergent forms of pre-semiotic and linguistic interactions in a six-stage developmental model of unconscious and conscious modes of communication. The now vastly expanded interpretive purview of the psychoanalytic semantic thereby becomes an empirical window into the evolution, development, and transformative potential of conscious awareness as it is constructed through our specialized dialogues. By focusing on the forms of interaction themselves the study lifts the locus of observation out of both relational and classical positions and into a developmental/evolutionary framework, providing overarching principles for theory and practice in a unified psychoanalytic metapsychology. This book is for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the psychoanalytic and supervisory processes and the dialogical phenomena arising therein."
