Is there a baby in the relational consulting room? How and when can/should we try to hold our patients? What happens to the analysts subjectivity when she tries to hold? In Holding and Psychoanalysis: A Relational Perspective (second Edition), Joyce Slochower brings a contemporary relational framework to bear on Winnicotts notion of the holding environment. Revisiting the clinical impact and theoretical underpinnings of holding, Slochower explores its function in those moments when ordinary interpretive or interactive work cannot be tolerated. Slochower expands the holding construct beyond the needs of dependent patients by examining its therapeutic function across the clinical spectrum. Emphasizing holdings coconstructed nature, Slochower explores the contribution of both patient and analyst the holding moment.

A final chapter presents Slochowers latest ideas about holdings clinical function in buffering shame states. Integrating Winnicotts seminal contributions with contemporary relational and feminist/psychoanalytic perspectives, Joyce Slochower addresses the therapeutic limitations of both interpretive and interactive clinical work. There are times, she argues, when patients cannot tolerate explicit evidence of the analysts separate presence and instead need a holding experience.
