According to Stein, an updated and clinically-relevant affect theory is conspicuously absent in the field of psychoanalysis. This book represents the first attempt to collate and clarify psychoanalytic theories on affect as they relate to the clinical process. Stein outlines and analyzes the most important affect theories and empirical work presented in the last one hundred years. She exposes the rigidity of some automatically held notions about affects and draws on the newer ideas in the field to paint a large-scale picture of contemporary thought on the subject.

The first model of accelerated psychodynamic therapy to make the theoretical why as important as the formula for how, Fosha's original technique for catalyzing change mandates explicit empathy and radical engagement by the therapist to elicit and harness the patient's own healing affects. Its wide-open window on contemporary relational and attachment theory ushers in a safe, emotionally intense, experience-based pathway for processing previously unbearable feelings. This is a rich fusion of intellectual rigor, clinical passion, and practical moment-by-moment interventions.

Isaacs' simple realistic premise is that because emotion is a built-in mental process, it is always useful. He explores the why and how of those uses. Old questions in psychology are more satisfactorily answered and new questions are asked and answered. Among the many implications of the book we discern a broad panorama of new views about how personality develops, what are psychological health, illness, and effective treatment of disorders. Isaacs includes a never-before achieved clear path to prevention of a broad array of symptom disorders.

Published for the first time in English, The Fabric of Affect in the Psychoanalytic Discourse is Andre Green's seminal work on affect, one of the most neglected topics in psychoanalysis. Originally published in French as Le Discours Vivant and considered a classic in the psychoanalytic world, the book lucidly connects theory, culture and clinical practice as it considers affect within psychoanalytic literature, structure and process in clinical practice, and theories on affect, negative hallucination, and language and discourse.
