More Human than Otherwise - by Irwin Hirsch (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Making analy(c subjec(vity his life(me focus, these selected papers span four decades of Irwin
Hirsch's astute examina(on of the analyst's par(cipa(on in the process. From an observingpar
(cipant model, he traces his trajectory toward a par(cularly human, 'idiosyncra(cally
flflawed' yet unself-consciously loving analy(c presence. He exhorts us to recognize and embody
our uniquely flflawed yet nurturant and facilita(ve capaci(es--essen(al to an evolved analy(c
stance. He demonstrates these capaci(es with characteris(c humility, unsparing self-reflflec(on,
and generosity of spirit. In this book, Hirsch outlines the contours of a humane, loving, and
ethical analy(c presence.
