Inside Out: Making Stories From Kaleidoscopic Realities

Abstract

Daniel Goldin presents psychological trouble as an opportunity for change. This response to Goldin sees in his work important ideas about how psychoanalysts can respond to the many challenging troubles our profession currently faces. Disruptions in canonical stories can lead to healthy transformations for individuals as well as for psychoanalytic work. The recent Pixar movie Inside Out symbolizes the rethinking of narrative that Goldin has found clinically useful and that has value for our profession.
