Intimacy: The Ins and Outs By: Salman Akhtar, Gurmeet Kanwal

Author: Salman Akhtar

Intimacy applies a contemporary, psychoanalytic perspective to the many facets of intimacy between people, from romantic and sexual relationships, to friendliness, as well as the ways intimacy is mediated by new digital technologies.

Identifying commonalities and differences between a range of approaches, including Classical Freudian, Attachment Theory, and Interpersonal Theory, the book includes case studies that highlight how intimacy is framed in a variety of relationships. It examines the line between privacy and intimacy, as well as how intimacy changes at different stages of one’s lifespan.

From the friends we have to the pets we own, or the faith we follow, a cross-cultural perspective ensures that intimacy is conceived of as a broad, essential element underlying all human relationships. The intimacy between analyst and analysand is also examined.

This far-reaching book will interest both practising and training psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as those in related disciplines.
