Secret Passages provides a theoretical and clinical exploration of the field of psychoanalysis. It looks at the pivotal relationship between analyst and client and its importance to the psychoanalytic process. Offering a uniquely global perspective, Bolognini considers the different trends in contemporary psychoanalysis, charting a course between the innovative and traditional.
Divided into three parts, areas of discussion include:
- plurality and complexity in the internal world
- the complex nature of psychoanalytic empathy
- from the transpsychic to the interpsychic.
Drawing on vivid clinical examples throughout, Secret Passages will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts, in particular those with an interest in gaining a more global theoretical perspective.
"We should all be grateful to Stefano Bolognini for leading the way for the rest of us to follow. He has blazed a trail, and now it is incumbent on the rest of us to make our way along that trail and join him in the new country of global psychoanalysis." – Glen O. Gabbard, From the Foreword.
"The book is written with a distinctive voice, and would be a welcome addition to any analyst’s library. Reading it in whole or in part will reward any reader who would like to be immersed in the clinical and theoretical thinking of our Italian colleague..." - Sybil Houlding, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2012

"In this volume, Bolognini displays a feeling for the clinical application of multiple hteories that cannot fail to impress the psychoanalytic reader... Bologinin's fundamental humanism, his kindness and regard for his patients and the healing process come through in a fashion that can, at times, make the reader forget all the theoretical trappings that his orientation requires of him. In total, he demonstrates the importance of his trust in others and his higfh regard for psychanalysis and its ability in his hands to help his patients achieve healthy maturity." -Henry J. Friedman M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, American Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2014
