Transforming Difficult Concepts to Meet Modern Psychoanalytic Needs
Dr. Civitarese’s work deciphers and transforms concepts to address society and culture’s modern psychoanalytic needs focusing on a new understanding of unconscious processes of the mind, therapeutic action, and the function of dreaming. His work extended Bion’s reformulation of the concept of “hallucinosis” in a way that deciphers and transforms this difficult Bionian concept into comprehensible psychoanalytic techniques.
