Janet Lee Bachant is a psychologist, psychoanalyst, author and educator who has been teaching and supervising in New York City for over 30 years. After September 11, Dr. Bachant led a coalition of over 350 mental health workers who donated mental health services to disaster responders and their families. Dr. Bachant has taught psychoanalysis at various psychoanalytic institutes in the New York area and in China. She is the author of numerous journal articles and co-author (with Elliot Adler) of Working in Depth: Framework and Flexibility in the Analytic Relationship. Her new book, Exploring the Landscape of the Mind takes us on an intimate inner journey to understand the building blocks of psychotherapy: the attitudes, skills and modes of relating that make change possible. The book's secondary focus on working with trauma enriches the reader's ability to listen for the many layers of meaning, organization and symbolic resonance in the therapeutic process. See less
