We live in a world where our livelihood depends on our ability to relate to strangers. The central quality that defines strangers is that they are unknown. Because strangers are unknown, they represent, in the world outside, the unknown self within. The unknown self is the core of the personality considered as a potential to become something yet to be determined. To be already known is to be determined prior to and independently of our presence in our lives. At the outset of the process of taking form, the individual is, in a sense, a stranger to self and to others. The more this is the case, the greater the openness of the process of self-formation and the more marked the role of freedom from predetermination in that process. Freedom from predetermination exists along three dimensions: the free movement of thoughts and ideas or "inner freedom"; the freedom to relate, which is also the freedom not to relate; and freedom in relating, which is the possibility of maintaining secure self-boundaries in relations with others. In exploring freedom understood in this way, Professor Levine considers such topics as: the nature of inner freedom and its relationship to deliberation and choice; stranger anxiety and its connection to group dynamics and social connection; the internal factors that enable us to make the decisions that shape our lives and through our actions realize the ends embedded in our decisions; how our memories shape our thought processes and therefore the choices we make and the lives we lead that result from them; what makes it possible for us to live comfortably with and depend on people we do not know; concern for the welfare of strangers and how our welfare can be secure in a world where we do not care about others and they do not care about us.

The contents of the three volumes are grouped not chronologically but under the headings of Personality and Family Structure, Philosophy and History of Psychoanalysis, and The Psychoanalytic Process and the Analyst. Together they present his interpretation of the Kleinian development from Freud, through Abraham and Klein, to Bion and the post-Kleinian model; and within this evolution, his view of the natural history of the psychoanalytic process, the aesthetics of the method, and his insights into the operation of the transference and countertransference. Meltzer saw the psychoanalytic process as a new method that contributes alongside more traditional art-forms to our scientific knowledge of the mind. Working with both adults and children, he viewed psychoanalysis in developmental rather than narrowly therapeutic terms, with potential for both analyst and analysand. All his theories derived from clinical work, above all from dream-reading and childrens phantasy play; and owing to his extensive international teaching experience, his own material was enriched by that of many supervisees. This collection of papers, read as a whole, invites new readers to follow and partake in what he called the most interesting conversation in the world.

Muy temprano, Jacques Lacan, este hijo de familia católica y apegada a su tierra, impregnado de los ideales de la Francia burguesa, estuvo animado por un gran deseo de ascenso social e intelectual. Enseguida se sintio superior a sus maestros en psiquiatria. Lo era, en efecto, y paso su vida criticando los valores antiguos, los de sus ancestros, los de los testaferros de la legitimidad psicoanalitica.En el corazon del libro, los personajes: los maestros, los amigos, los rivales, los discipulos, el circulo familiar. Pero tambien Koyre, Kojeve, Bataille, Heidegger, Sartre, Althusser, Levi-Strauss, Jakobson. Alrededor de cada uno de ellos se explica la pasion de Lacan: dominar el tiempo, conocer a los grandes de este mundo, coleccionar los objetos, seducir a las mujeres, pero tambien, y sobre todo, construir un sistema de pensamiento fundado en la determinacion del sujeto por el lenguaje.El siglo se burlo al principio de la extravagancia verbal y de la jerga de sus herederos. La historia retendra, con Elisabeth Roudinesco, que es Lacan precisamente quien supo analizar con mayor refinamiento las transformaciones de la familia occidental, la declinacion de la funcion paterna, las contradicciones del amor, las ilusiones de la revolucion, la logica de la locura."La primera gran biografia del mas celebre psicoanalista frances" (Le Nouvel Observateur)."Me parece que el psiquiatra necesita un psiquiatra" (Martin Heidegger)."En este libro desfilan Sartre, Beauvoir, Dali, Picasso Mas que una biografia, un fresco de la cultura moderna" (Jonathan Stearns)."El libro de Elisabeth Roudinesco esta excelentemente logrado: claro y documentado, sera leido con interes aun por aquellos que no comulgan con quieners veneran al maestro" (Luc Ferry, LExpress).

In 1968, Wilfred Bion and Albert Mason emigrated to Los Angeles at the invitation of a group of young analysts to teach and train local clinicians in the British object relations tradition. They were joined by Susanna Isaacs Elmhirst for a period. London Kleinians in Los Angeles is a colorful account of the early days of psychoanalysis in LA, punctuated by in-person presentations from the leading Kleinians of the day, including Hanna Segal, Herbert Rosenfeld, Donald Meltzer, and Wilfred Bion himself. Their unpublished lectures from the 1960s and 1970s appear in Part I. Part II features seminal papers by the founding fathers of the Psychoanalytic Center of California (PCC): James Gooch, James Grotstein, Arthur Malin, and Albert Mason, the groups leading spokesperson. PCC continues to function as a vital center of psychoanalytic training and education in the British object relations tradition. The unearthing of four unpublished contributions from four founding Kleinians is an incredible find for psychoanalysis and this book is highly recommended to all professionals and trainees in the field. Those with an interest in the history of psychoanalysis will find much to excite them.

Renowned Freud scholar Barry R. Silverstein presents in a historical context an overview of the development of Freuds theories. What was Freud thinking, when, and why and what were the major influences which shaped his ideas? We follow the inner movement of his theory construction, its meaning and coherence, as well as his conceptual logic and personal directions concerning his evolving views of the reciprocal interactions between mind and body, the motivational force of instinctual drives, and the dominant role of sexuality rooted in evolutionary biology in human development, behaviour, and the creation of neurotic disturbances. We follow Freuds construction and sequential reconstructions of his theoretical models concerning the nature, dynamics, and principles of unconscious mental functioning, including his changing concepts on the nature and purpose of dreams. We trace his changing views on the role of deferred action of early childhood experiences and the determining role of unconscious fantasy, psychic reality, in the formation of adult character structure and neuroses. Through such historical analysis this book provides grounding for a meaningful understanding of Freuds familiar concepts: id, ego, superego, and the Oedipus complex. We explore what these concepts meant to Freud, why he conceived them, and what functions they served in his theory of mind. This is the perfect book for students and trainees wanting to learn more about the development of Freuds ideas, as well as for established psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in expanding their knowledge of Freuds theories.

Christopher Bollas presents us with a new literary form in his Conversations: twenty-three unique dialogues to captivate, amuse, and inspire. The psychoanalyst Paula Heimann asked: Who is speaking? To whom? About what? And why now? We speak with the voice and position of many others - mothers, fathers, siblings, teachers - and ordinary conversation therefore stages the history of our interpersonal engagements. Heimanns questions also apply when we talk to ourselves, and our inner dialogues reveal the hidden genius of our private world in which we are both actor and audience, poet and reader, politician and electorate. Its quite a ride, and an art form all of its own.

Living with the idea of bearing a death-force fundamentally directed at oneself is hardly easy to admit. It is less so in any case than the idea that we are all murderers, that we are ever ready to plead legitimate defence or the need to survive so as to strike out at another. Andre Green, from the Foreword What drives men to kill and self-destruct? On the Death and Destruction Drives traces the introduction and development of the controversial concept of the "death drive", from the work of Freud (1920-1938) to the main contributions of classical and post-Freudian authors, including Ferenczi, Klein, Bion, Winnicott, and Lacan. Shedding light on non-neurotic phenomena and structures, such as anorexia, bulimia, depression, suicide, criminal behaviour, Andre Green offers a new perspective on the relationship between the life drive (Eros) and the death drive (Thanatos). Andre Green was a key figure in contemporary psychoanalysis, who embraced philosophy and an international outlook to enhance psychoanalytic theory. This book was one of his last works, originally published in French as Pourquoi les pulsions de destruction ou de mort? in 2012. Greens defence of one of Freuds most daring revisions of his drive theory remains relevant to psychoanalytic work today, and it is an honour to bring this excellent translation to the English-speaking world. To enhance its worth, the book includes an introduction from translator Steven Jaron to clarify certain technical terms and situate the book within Greens oeuvre. This book is an important contribution to the development of psychoanalytic theory and essential reading for all trainee and practising psychoanalysts.

Dreams are my landscape, said Meltzer. In this book he re-establishes psychoanalysis as the art of reading dreams, and dream-life as the core of mental processes. Dreams are not just puzzles to be decoded, the effluence of past trauma or future wish-fulfilment; they are the psyches attempt - with a varying level of aesthetic achievement - to symbolise its present emotional conflicts in order to re-orient itself toward the real world - meaning external and internal reality

Esta amplia monografía explora el arquetipo del sí-mismo a partir del estudio de la idea del eón cristiano. La tradición cristiana no solo está imbuida desde su comienzo por la idea, inicialmente perso-judia, del final de los tiempos, sino que esta asimismo llena del presentimiento de la inversion expresada en el dilema Cristo-Anticristo. La mayor parte de las especulaciones historicas en torno a los periodos temporales han estado probablemente influidas, como ya muestra el Apocalipsis, por ideas astrologicas. Por tanto, la investigacion se centra principalmente en el simbolo del pez, puesto que el eon de Piscis ha constituido el fenomeno concomitante sincronistico de los dos mil años de evolucion espiritual cristiana.

El fenómeno místico aparece como una constante universal en todas las formaciones religiosas. En nuestros días, se da además la novedosa reivindicación de una"mística profana" que tendría lugar fuera de los margenes de la religion. Pero, aparte de los campos de la teologia y la espiritualidad, fueron la psiquiatria, la psicologia y, despues, el psicoanalisis las disciplinas que mostraron un mayor interes en la experiencia mistica.La irrupcion de intensas vivencias afectivas, a veces acompañadas de fenomenos especiales como son las visiones y revelaciones, hicieron pensar que los dinamismos negados de la conciencia encontraban en este tipo de experiencia una oportunidad unica de expresion y reconocimiento. El caracter regresivo, insano, o propulsivo y benefico que pudiera comportar la vivencia mistica fue y sigue siendo objeto de una encendida controversia.Pero, mas alla de la cuestion clinica, el fenomeno mistico se presenta como una particular forma de experiencia en la que las estructuras psiquicas mas profundas se encuentran inequivocamente comprometidas. Determinar cuales son esas dimensiones del psiquismo implicadas y el sentido que puedan tener en la dinamica global de la personalidad constituye un objetivo central del presente estudio.El analisis se limita a la mistica occidental y, dentro de ella, se pretende determinar cual pueda ser el significado de ese Otro con el que el mistico se vincula en amor y gozo. Un Otro que simultaneamente puede provenir de ese "mas aca" de la conciencia, en lo que seria el mundo inconsciente y, paralelamente, podria estar remitiendo tambien a un "mas alla" de la misma, a una realidad trascendente, sagrada o no, con la que el mistico dice estar en relacion. El lugar de ese Otro en los misticos de Occidente supone asi un reto apasionante al que esta obra intenta aproximarse.-"Esta obra va a marcar un antes y un despues en los estudios relacionados con la experiencia mistica". (Jose M. Castillo en Religion Digital)-"Nos hallamos ante una excelente obra que quedara sin duda alguna como referencia para las futuras decadas. Es la culminacion y el fruto maduro de prolongadas incursiones del autor en las aguas profundas del psiquismo humano, alla donde lo otro se encuentra con el Otro". (Javier Melloni)
