The idea is that unconscious content is not fully formed, merely awaiting discovery, but is instead better understood as potential experience-a vaguely organized, primitive, global, non-ideational, affective state. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the past, the formulation of experience was most commonly understood as verbal articulation. That was the perspective Donnel B. Stern took in 1997 in his first book, \u003ci\u003eUnformulated Experience: From Dissociation to Imagination in Psychoanalysis\u003c\/i\u003e. In this new book, Stern recognizes that we need to theorize the formulation of nonverbal experience, as well. Using new concepts of the \"acceptance\" and \"use\" of experience that \"feels like me,\" Stern argues for a wider conception of \"meaningfulness.\" Some formulated experience is verbal (\"articulation\"), but other formulations are nonverbal (\"realization\"). Demonstrating how this can be so is at the heart of this book. Stern then goes on to house this entire set of ideas in the commodious conception of language offered by Charles Taylor, Gadamer, and Merleau-Ponty. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Infinity of the Unsaid\u003c\/em\u003e offers an expansion of the theory of unformulated experience that has important implications for clinical thinking and practice; it will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists across all schools of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Infinity of the Unsaid: Unformulated Experience, Language, and the Nonverbal | Donnel B Stern | Paperback | 9781138604995 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks R 1781779","offer_id":50768216948994,"sku":"1781779","price":43.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/6123eeFNh_L.jpg?v=1792109239","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/infinity-of-the-unsaid-unformulated-experience-language-and-the-nonverbal","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
