About the author: Irma Brenman Pick

Brenman Pick is known among her colleagues as a psychoanalyst with a fine clinical intuition, coupled with a distinctive, lively and clear way of formulating from material, and for engaging with patients in a deep, multi-layered and nuanced way.

Authenticity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter brings together Irma Brenman Pick’s original contributions to psychoanalytic technique. Working in the Kleinian tradition, she writes vivid clinical narratives that shed a humane light on the struggles that patients – indeed, all of us – face in recognising the need for others in our lives.

Brenman Pick is interested in the infantile roots of mental conflict, and shows a deep understanding of the complex unconscious phantasies alive in the patient’s mind. Through an illuminating focus on authenticity, she explores diverse topics, including adolescence, sexual identity, stealing, concern for the object, destructiveness, creativity, and integration.
