A Psychoanalyst and His Patients offers an intimate and authentic glimpse into the analytic room, revealing transformative encounters between psychoanalyst and patient through vivid clinical vignettes.

Pietro Roberto Goisis conveys the living reality of psychoanalytic work, where words, silences, emotions, and everyday details become the raw material for healing and growth. Through compelling narratives spanning adolescent identity crises, trauma recovery, sexual exploration, and despair, Goisis demonstrates how the analytic space becomes a crucible for meaning-making and transformation. Each chapter illuminates not only the patients' journeys but also the analyst's own vulnerability and evolution, showing how psychoanalysis is fundamentally a shared human experience where fragmented experiences find coherence and dark territories are welcomed and reworked. This book bridges the gap between clinical practice and accessible storytelling, making the complexity of psychoanalysis comprehensible without sacrificing depth or rigor. Written with poetic sensitivity yet clinical precision, this book reveals the analytic room not as a mysterious or abstract space, but as a living environment capable of welcoming and transforming all who enter it.

It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, mental health professionals, students of psychology and counselling, and to readers interested in therapeutic practice.
