ABSTRACT

This volume is organized into seven different sections that explore experiences of knowing and being known as they occur in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically-based treatments. The twenty chapters present different facets of knowing and not knowing. They explore how knowledge is affected by personal histories, relational patterns, and sociocultural contexts, as well as by what one sees and feels. Common in all the chapters is the desire to know and be known and to come to terms with what one does not know.
