The Emergent Container in Psychoanalysis
Drawing largely from the psychoanalytic ground of Jung, Bion and Winnicott, from Plato and Whitehead and from numerous clinical studies, this book explores 'Absence' and 'Future' in the context of their many emotional and conceptual meanings.Bringing together absence and future with Plato's concept of the 'receptacle' as described in the Timaeus and with Whitehead's handling of it, the author examines containment in psychoanalytic process. The term 'emergent container' has been coined as the metaphorical and metaphysical space where the interplay between potentiality and actuality meet in the process of emergent reality. Here Jung's concept of 'container' (Tavistock Lectures, 1935) is in an ancient and continuing tradition of process thinking.
In this sense, the As absence emerges, experience consciousness develops, as well as the potential for symbolic thinking.
