Abstract

This paper examines epistemological plurality in contemporary relational psychoanalysis. I draw on clinical material with my own clients who have experienced environmental trauma in early life, such as experiences of incest, battery, abuse and molestation. In this paper, I put forward arguments for the positivist thinking within the development of psychoanalysis, as well as drawing on neuroepistemology, postmodernism and hermeneutic philosophy to consider the ways in which epistemological plurality may provide a more holistic way of conceptualising clients concerns. In this paper, I highlight the role that language, and the analysis of language, plays in meaning making within psychotherapy.

精神分析的认识论多元性与解释学

本文探讨当代关系精神分析的认识论多元性。我从自己的客户身上汲取临床材料，这些客户在早年经历过环境创伤，比如乱伦、殴打、虐待和骚扰。在本文中，我提出了精神分析发展中的实证主义思想的论点，并借鉴神经认识论、后现代主义和解释学哲学来考虑认识论多元性可能提供一种更全面的方式来概念化来访者的关注。在本文中，我强调了语言和语言分析在心理治疗中的意义形成中的作用。

期刊介绍： The British Journal of Psychotherapy is a journal for psychoanalytic and Jungian-analytic thinkers, with a focus on both innovatory and everyday work on the unconscious in individual, group and institutional practice. As an analytic journal, it has long occupied a unique place in the field of psychotherapy journals with an Editorial Board drawn from a wide range of psychoanalytic, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic, and analytical psychology training organizations. As such, its psychoanalytic frame of reference is wide-ranging and includes all schools of analytic practice. Conscious that many clinicians do not work only in the consulting room, the Journal encourages dialogue between private practice and institutionally based practice. Recognizing that structures and dynamics in each environment differ, the Journal provides a forum for an exploration of their differing potentials and constraints. Mindful of significant change in the wider contemporary context for psychotherapy, and within a changing regulatory framework, the Journal seeks to represent current debate about this context.
