Autonomy, Relatedness and Oedipus is an innovative and inspiring work from Thijs de Wolf that takes a critical look at the field of psychoanalysis. He takes the view that psychoanalysis is about both the inner and outer world and presents a compelling case. Using the works of Freud and other leading writers, such as Ferenczi, Faimberg, Laplanche, Lacan, Fonagy, Target, and Blatt, de Wolf investigates the central concepts of psychoanalysis and its place in the world. The wide-ranging chapters include a detailed examination of Freuds book on Leonardo da Vinci; discussions of the personality, the unconscious, and sexuality; the development of the psychoanalytic frame, not just in terms of the individual but also the object relational, group, and systemic aspects; the issue of descriptive and structural diagnostics and how to find a balance between the two; the analysis of dreams; the concept of change; the difficulties surrounding termination of treatment; and end with a novel explication of the oedipal constellation that brings many new insights to a key foundation stone of psychoanalytic theory. This book is written for trainees and professionals looking to find their own "path" in psychoanalysis; those open to findings from other scientific areas, such as developmental psychopathology, the neurosciences, attachment theories, and human infant research. De Wolfs theoretical pluralism and breadth of scholarship bestows a stimulating range of ideas to take psychoanalysis back to its place as a leader in the field.

The challenges and crises that kept resurfacing in Michael and Batya Shoshanis work with extremely difficult patients hunted by anxieties of being, and in particular with perverse psychic organization, motivated them to write this book. It is an attempt to propose a clinical conceptualisation to enhance their understanding of these lost and confused patients, whose narcissistic struggle against human fate defies reality and truth, challenging the analyst and the analytic situation. Analysts, caught between their own perception of reality and truth and the wish to be empathetic to their patients experiences and views of reality, often feel torn and as if standing on quicksand. Here, the authors are joining a contemporary movement in the psychoanalytic tradition whilst turning to other disciplines in order to better understand and explain the suffering of their patients. The use of literature, in particular the fictional works of Jorge Luis Borges; film, with an in-depth look at Roman Polanskis Bitter Moon (1992) and Denis Villeneuves Incendies (2010); and philosophy, the ideas of Heidegger and how they link to those of Freud, coupled together with a solid grasp of psychoanalytic theory, such as reflections on Neville Symingtons seminal theory of narcissism, interspersed with real-life case studies bring the chapters alive. Such interplay between the detailed clinical material and conceptual formulations to an interdisciplinary dialogue enables a different outlook that will enrich the ongoing professional discourse on these perplexing and illusive psychic phenomena.

Según el propio Jung, «sólo con Mysterium Coniunctionis mi psicología se situó definitivamente en la realidad y se cimentó históricamente como un todo. Con ello mi tarea estaba terminada, mi obra hec

In this compellingly written and meticulously researched new book, Professor Brett Kahr draws upon extensive unpublished archival sources and upon his four decades of oral history interviews to paint fascinating portraits of many of the icons of mental health. Unearthing Freuds Death Bed and Laings Missing Tooth: Hidden Histories of British Psychoanalysis includes detailed accounts of Kahrs interviews with such noted figures as Enid Balint, Marion Milner, Ronald Laing, John Bowlby and his wife, Ursula Longstaff Bowlby, as well as numerous members of Donald Winnicotts family. Framed as a series of glimpses into the early history of British psychoanalysis, Kahr explores how the German-speaking Sigmund Freud learned how to psychoanalyse English-speaking patients; how Enid Eichholz (the future wife of Michael Balint) pioneered couple psychoanalysis in the wake of the Second World War; how Donald Winnicott treated "The Piggle" in the midst of his own health crises; and how Masud Khan degenerated from a clinical sage into an anti-Semite. A breathtaking combination of interviews, reminiscences, and well-documented scholarship, this book provides a gripping overview of many of the key figures in British psychoanalysis, all of whom made unparalleled contributions to the mental health profession, and whose lives and careers deserve to be visited and revisited.

Donald Meltzer coined the term aesthetic conflict to describe the emotional complexities of the apprehension of beauty. It had its roots in art, literature, infant observation, and above all, in clinical experience. This concept affirmed and illustrated Bions formula of L, H, K (Love, Hate, and Knowledge), together with its negative (minus L, H, K) as a revision of Kleins fundamental emotional dynamics of Envy and Gratitude. As such, any emotional situation may be read in terms of either struggling with or retreating from the aesthetic conflict that occurs naturally at all key points of psychic development. Meltzer could be said to have encapsulated the essence of Bions post-Kleinian trajectory when he wrote that If we follow Bions thought closely, we see that the new idea presents itself as an emotional experience of the beauty of the world and its wondrous organisation. The contributions in this book are by analysts and therapists from a wide variety of countries working with both children and adults. They have all, in individual ways, found aesthetic conflict a useful frame of reference in terms of illuminating the significance of clinical observation, understanding countertransference responses, or practising the psychoanalytic method itself.

Marisa Pelella Melega came to Rome in 1988 to celebrate the foundation of the first Centro Studi Martha Harris, and to establish a link between the Centro Studi and her initiative in Sao Paulo. The link with the Centro Studi and with the Tavistock proved very fertile and this book is a witness to it. The valuable work documented here exemplifies vividly Martha Harris own often-cited statement that psychoanalytical ideas have travelled... and found a home in which to flourish

Tipos psicológicos publicado en 1921, es uno de los libros más conocidos de C. G. Jung. En esta obra fundamental, que describe por primera vez nociones que luego han pasado a formar parte del lenguaje comun, Jung presenta ciertas estructuras y mecanismos de funcionamiento tipicos de la psique, buscando asi promover en el ser humano unmejor entendimiento tanto de si mismo como de su projimo.La oposicion entre los tipos no solo desempeña un importante papel en polemicas teologicas y disputas cientificas, culturales y filosoficas, sino tambien en las relaciones humanas en general. De especial interes son los analisis dedicados por Jung a Friedrich Schiller, Carl Spitteler o William James.El ultimo capitulo recoge las definiciones, elaboradas por el propio Jung, de los conceptos psicologicos mas habitualmente utilizados en sus escritos. El Apendice incluye la conferencia de 1913 Sobre la cuestion de los tipos psicologicos, en la que el autor baso buena parte de las reflexiones del presente volumen.

En 1934 emprende C. G. Jung (1875-1961) un seminario dedicado a Así habló Zaratustra, de Friedrich Nietzsche. Los episodios y personajes de este libro emblemático y extraño conforman una constelación en la que Jung va deletreando las nociones principales de la psicologia analitica. Por ello este seminario no solo ofrece una original interpretacion, en terminos psicoanaliticos, de la filosofia de Nietzsche y de su hundimiento en la locura. Aporta asimismo un sugerente cuadro de la psicologia junguiana en su mismo ejercicio y revela aspectos intempestivos de la personalidad de su autor. Todo ello con el trasfondo de una Europa que de nuevo se encamina a la guerra."Jung frente a Nietzsche: Jung debate sobre el sentido de un libro extremadamente misterioso. Y explosivo". (Babelia)"Estas paginas permiten recorrer la riqueza de intereses de Jung, que enlazaba sus exploraciones de la psique con la mitologia, el esoterismo, el arte o la magia". (El Cutural)

The book contains contributions from Leopoldo Bleger, Catherine Desvignes, Marie-France Dispaux-Ducloux, Yvette Dorey, Claudio Laks Eizirik, Fabienne Fillion, Serge Frisch, Lila Hoijman, Erika Kittler, Diana Messina Pizzuti, Luc Michel, Martine Sandor-Buthaud, Andrea Scardovi, Evelyne Sechaud, and Ronnie Shaw. Inter-analytic exchange involves associatively voicing thoughts in response to the clinical material of a patient, thus shedding light on some of the intrapsychic activity of psychoanalysts at work. Various transferential movements which may emerge must be contained and processed within this framework. For a day and a half, a group of analysts freely associates on three sessions of clinical material presented by a colleague (who remains silent during the discussion) in the presence of two moderators and a silent observer-rapporteur. This forms the core dispositif of the Specificity method. The general framework of the method is upheld by a European research group that meets biannually. Members establish annual clinical working parties during the European Psychoanalytic Federation (EPF) Congress, where they review observer reports and work through them using, again, free association. A summary of each session is transcribed and a subgroup is dedicated to the systematic reading of the reports to produce further study. While the dispositif does not offer an absolute guarantee, over fifteen years of experience and exploration have proved its worth. It is now a recognised model within the EPF and the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). This collection documents the history of the origins of the method and the discoveries made, the results of the research, and also the ongoing questioning within the EPF. It is neither exhaustive nor didactic, but instead invites you, the reader, to integrate your experiences with the ones presented herein. This is a must-read for all psychoanalysts and clinicians.

All his life, Wilfred Bion strove to find a narrative form for the traumatic experiences he went through as a tank commander in the First World War. The body of his autobiographical and literary works documents his efforts to wrest a biography of his own from the most devastating processes of world history. As a whole, it is the result of a lifelong struggle to express something unspeakable, to restore something destroyed. What emerges is something like the prehistory of the psychical catastrophe from which Bion was unable to escape until his death. As such, however, these autobiographical fragments also reflect the prehistory of the historical catastrophe under whose spell the world still stands today. This book is the first comprehensive study of Bions autobiographical and literary writings. Drawing on the concepts of experience and thinking developed in his theoretical and clinical works, with which they are genetically linked, it discusses Bions strategies of writing and cognition, and for the first time systematically places a hitherto unexplored part of his work in the context of his entire oeuvre. Following the chronological thread of his life, from childhood in India through youth in England to his experience of the First World War in France and Belgium, the book traces how Bion developed his unique method of writing. Detailed narrative analyses reveal the painful work of coming to terms with the war experiences which had haunted him throughout his life - a crippling trauma whose causes extended far beyond the individual and private. The book thus provides deep insights into Bions life, his thinking, and his writing, and offers the reader a portrait of the primal catastrophe of the twentieth century and its devastating effects.

With contributions from Ozcan Alper, Damir Arsenijevic, Friederike Bassenge, Alen Drljevic, Andreas Hamburger, Camellia Hancheva, Dzenana Husremovic, Lars Kraume, Dijana Jelaca, Ajna Jusic, Cem Kaptanoglu, Stephan Komandarev, Maida Koso-Drljevic, Nadia Kozhouharova, Gamze Ozcurumez, Tatjana Petzer, Vivian Pramataroff-Hamburger, Goran Radovanovic, Biljana Stankovic, Svetlozar Vassilev, and Jasmila zbanic. In the last decade, the concept of trauma has experienced a surprising boom in sociological and media debates. In a culture of outrage, blanket narratives of victimhood often overshadow the concrete, known social violations and their observable real economic and psychological consequences. The aim of this volume is to reflect on this shift in discourse and to compare it with the concrete historical backgrounds and psychosocial constitutions of countries that have been haunted by social trauma in different ways. In discussing feature films from Germany and four Balkan countries, the book presents the distinct social-traumatic histories, how they are negotiated in different societies, and the motifs cinema uses to narrate them. The award-winning films featured are Sadilishteto [The Judgement], Grbavica [Esmas Secret - Grbavica], Muskarci ne placu [Men Dont Cry], Enklava [Enclave], Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer [The People vs. Fritz Bauer], and Sonbahar [Autumn]. The individual film analyses are each accompanied by interviews with the filmmakers and introduced by overarching themes, the role of cinema as a place of social understanding in a post-traumatic society, and the methodology of film analysis. With contributions from the worlds of film, psychoanalysis, activism, psychiatry, film studies, literary and cultural studies, psychology, trauma studies, philosophy, psychotherapy, and human relations, this book has a broad appeal. It is a must-read for those looking for a deeper insight into social trauma and the impact of sociocultural factors, shown so clearly through the filmmakers lens.

The social sciences and psychology see the origins of human experience from opposite directions: the inner world of the individual vs demands by society to conform. Politicians tend to follow the ideas of the social scientists and mostly ignore unconscious factors. Psychoanalysts, on the other hand, tend to focus on the human unconscious and mostly ignore the complexities of society, economics, and history. Yet, both disciplines are rooted in humanity. Social forces impact on individuals; and society is but the creation of individuals themselves. Thus, factors from both sources have validity and must impact on each other. Hinshelwood has turned to psychoanalysis as the subjective science, to balance the attempted objectivity of social sciences. The creation of a psychosocial model to bring the sparring disciplines together has been attempted many times on a conceptual level but Hinshelwood starts with a singularly interesting convergence at the level of observation. At a time where we face the imminent collapse of human civilisation, and possible extinction of the human species, it is important we attempt to understand the processes that have led us here. We need to find out where the forces of society and the imperatives of our individual selves converge in these particular threats. In order to regenerate some real optimism for our future, we need psychoanalysis to investigate the unconscious dynamics in where we went wrong. A predominant theme identified by Hinshelwood is the gradual, long-term dehumanisation of humans, which has led to widespread alienation from both society and the self. This takes place alongside the convergence of the value of money with the value of a person. Hinshelwoods use of the psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious mind to investigate humanity, society, and capitalism brings fresh insight to the intractable fractures we see in our social systems worldwide and hope for change.
