AWAKENINGS IN CLINICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS M. MASUD R. KHAN When Spring Comes Transgression has many roots. In the seven psychoanalytic case histories recorded in this book, sex and the search for power are the dominant themes. One by one, and with the graphic immediacy of a lived experience, Masud Khan unveils the hidden and repressed needs, demands and desires which his patients had been driven to act out compulsively in their everyday lives. Vivid, fluent and highly charged, these seven narratives reveal as much about the personality and methods of their author as about the patients themselves. Indeed, this is one of the keys to Masud Khan's achievement, both as a writer and in his psychoanalytic practice. In contrast to the traditional orthodoxy of Freudian analysis, which favours a neutral stance on the part of the analyst, his style of working is avowedly personal (albeit that his debt to others is amply acknowledged). The result is a series of dramatic human encounters in which the pains and passions of the patient, and the exacting but fulfilling role of the analyst, are brilJiantly portrayed. Bold and deeply human in its message, this is a book which shows how the challenges and ordeals of the psycho analytic process, the caring and sharing that lie at its heart, gradually help both patient and analyst towards the elusive goal of their own awakenings. £16.95net inuKonly • Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2022 with funding from Kahle/Austin Foundation https ://archive. o rg/ detai ls/whenspri ngcomesa0000kh an • When Spring Comes By the same author -CHE PRlVACY OF THI:: SJ:.Lf ALIENATION IN PERVERSIONS HIDDEN SELVES When Spring Comes AWAKENINGS IN CLINICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS M.
