Paradigms and Processes by Arnold Wilson

Paradigms and Processes: Selected Papers of Arnold Wilson, PhD

“Arnold Wilson is one of the rare psychoanalysts who not only knows how to deal with various clinical contingencies but has thought through the rationale for these multiple interventions. Dr. Wilson’s brilliant clinical activities and formulations have been based on novel theories about progressive and/ or regressive modes of mental functioning—what he has called the hierarchical and epigenetic system. This, in turn, takes into account not only clinical experience in psychoanalysis but also recent advances in cognitive science and developmental psychology. This unusual blend of analytic clinical work and neuropsychology has opened the way to a complex, flexible set of models of the mind, from which psychoanalysis can evolve.”

—John E Gedo, MD, Former Training & Supervising analyst, Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of IL School of Medicine

“Arnold Wilson provides a broad in-depth survey of clinically relevant psycho-analytic concepts and processes. It is rich, enlightening, challenging and integrative. His substantial mastery of the material allows him to offer a delineation of key issues through contextual considerations and detailed consequential distinctions. This is an excellent addition to the literature.”
