Joan Peters, PhD, Discussant Tom Rosbrow, PhD
The new book, Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis invites us into the inner world of Joan Peters as she recounts in incredible detail her two analyses, one when she was in her twenties and the other when she was in her sixties. Peters entered her first treatment because of recurring nightmares. She worked with a more traditional American analyst who closely followed Peters while simultaneously remained distant in a professional but warm way. The work was deep and led to a discovery of Peter’s family’s secret past. Her second analysis focused more on a tumultuous and intense clinical relationship with her analyst allowing Peters to confront parts of herself and grow and develop in new ways from that of the first analysis. Two analyses. Two different styles. Each analysis with forty years of time between them. Peters changed. Analysis changed. To engage in this dynamic discussion, Joan Peters will be joined by Tom Rosbrow for a discussion of her history, her experience of being a patient in these two different analyses and her sense of discovery as she wrestles with her demons over time.
