Sexual Diversity: Being Human through Understanding and Acceptance is an in-depth exploration of the vast diversity of sexual and erotic orientations, including heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer identities, as well as erotic diversity from vanilla to kink and everything in between. The book looks at the heteronormative norms prescribed by society and how these may be problematic for all populations, including heterosexual people. As part of diversity, the book offers a frame of thinking based on intersectionality. The work is a reference point to sexual and erotic diversities, written in plain English and in a conversational style. It attempts to offer a definition of the different identity terms that can be confusing, while acknowledging that language is fluid and changeable. This helps us to be more aware of the language we use and how we can stay as adaptable and fluid as eroticism can be. The content embraces inclusivity and helps us to learn to accept differences and to be more knowledgeable in the wide range of ways to live. It enables us to challenge our pre-conceived ideas and assumptions regarding sexuality and eroticism, and to continue learning and staying curious about diverse communities, cultures, and subcultures in the sexuality and erotic arenas. The concepts discussed are brought to life with stories from the consulting room and the world outside. This is a gem of a book that not only teaches us so much but also offers us opportunities for self-reflection. It is an absolute must-read for practising psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychoanalysts, as well as other professionals in the social care environment and every human interested in learning more about the wide variety of sexuality and eroticism in the world.

Erik Erikson, best known for his life-cycle theory and concept of the identity crisis, proposed that we are comprised of a number of selves. In several earlier books, including At Home in the World, Donald Capps has suggested that the emotional separation of young children - especially boys - from their mothers results in the development of a melancholy self. In this book, Capps employs Eriksons assignment of an inherent strength to each stage of the life cycle and proposes that the life-enhancing strengths of the childhood years (hope, will, purpose, and competence) are central to the development of a resourceful self, and that this self counters the life-diminishing qualities of the melancholy self.Focusing on Eriksons own writings, Capps identifies the four primordial resources that Erikson associates with childhood - humor, play, dreams, and hope - and shows how these resources assist children in confronting lifes difficulties and challenges. Capps further suggests that theresourceful self that develops in childhood is central to Jesus own vision of what we as adults may become if we follow the lead of little children.

Il presente lavoro trae origine da una considerazione riguardante il fatto che nel cammino di una sociologia stretta tra un approccio macrosociologico -- che si occupa degli ambiti istituzionali e macrostrutturali delle societa come dimensioni pre-esistenti rispetto ai singoli -- ed uno microsociologico -- rivolto allanalisi delle configurazioni sociali minime esistenti nelle nostre societa, intese come i luoghi di una interazione formale e/o informale -- vi fosse uno spazio nel quale le conoscenze sociologiche potessero essere utili per interventi sugli stati individuali di disagio.Lipotesi della socioterapia e che non vi sia un concetto astratto di disagio ma che si debba fare riferimento ad una serie di ambiti, alcuni dei quali sono intimamente legati a quella che lautore ha definito la deriva storica dei media: il succedersi di media via via dominanti che crea periodi iniziali di disagio in relazione dellobsolescenza di quello precedente e nella fase di consolidamento di quello successivo. Cosi e stato, nel passaggio dalla cultura orale a quella tipografica, per il vagabondaggio, il brigantaggio e lalcolismo.

Questo libro parla dei miti, dei relativi mitemi, del rapporto fra divino e umano e piu in generale del contributo che i miti possono dare allo sviluppo della psicoanalisi e dei suoi modelli teorici.Il titolo: Improvvisamente in un sussulto, in un moto di stupore evoca un epifania: qualcosa che appare, che si mostra, che nasce dallanonimo, dallimplicito, dal non riconoscimento, che apre una finestra sullinconscio e che illumina di senso cio che prima appariva indistinto e indifferenziato.Il sottotitolo: Sulluso del mito con la psicoanalisi annuncia la presenza di numerosi esempi clinici evocati dal mito o che evocano un mito, che, come sostiene Valdimiro Pellicano, e anche ??, perche, alla stregua di un farmaco e, in quanto veicolo di una simbologia inconscia universale, puo contribuire ad immaginare lesperienza emotiva che trapela nel campo analitico, operare delle trasformazioni di funzioni patologicamente alterate e favorire i processi riparativi.È questo un libro in cui antropologia, poesia, psicoanalisi e mito si intrecciano e si completano rendendo la lettura piacevole e utile a psicoanalisti, a psicoterapeuti, a tutti coloro che sono interessati ai miti e, in particolare, agli studenti delle scuole di psicoterapia, dove, come sottolinea lautore, lo studio dei miti e trascurato.In appendice Edipo e la Sfinge, tragedia in tre atti di J. Peladan (tradotta da V. Pellicano).

Questo libro si ripropone di offrire unopportunita di trovare piu gioia nel cuore come suono di fondo nella vita. Nasce dallesperienza diretta dellautore e ha come riferimenti lo zen e le Costellazioni familiari, due filosofie di vita che conducono a risanare lacerazioni interiori sovvertendo radicalmente convinzioni opprimenti delle quali spesso nemmeno ci rendiamo conto. Durante lesposizione vengono proposti molti casi di vita reali per dare la possibilita al lettore, eventualmente, di rispecchiarsi in qualcosa di proprio, trasformando cosi le teorie in vissuto emozionale. Con lo stesso scopo, nella parte finale vengono affrontate tematiche scottanti della nostra modernita, tutte lette da una prospettiva politicamente scorretta, dando modo di vedere, non tanto il mondo, quanto noi stessi, sotto una luce piu ampia in grado di includere cio che inconsapevolmente abbiamo escluso ed e a causa di quel respingimento per cui continuiamo a non trovare pace.

Lautrice, grazie alla propria esperienza di guarigione fisica e spirituale, ripercorre il viaggio compiuto e narrato da Dante e lo sottopone in modo originale al confronto con il percorso introspettivo ed evolutivo a cui la malattia sospinge chi ne sia portatore, rivelandone il senso superiore capace di regalare coesione e congruenza alle evenienze piu sfidanti dellesistenza. Individua 81 punti che descrive attraverso il proprio vissuto, ovvero i passaggi indispensabili al cammino di vera guarigione dellindividuo nella sua totalita e non la mera soppressione di un sintomo fisico. Le 186 domande permettono di intravedere la direzione e intraprendere un itinerario trasformativo per uscire a riveder le stelle. Per chi ha a cuore la salute dellindividuo, quella fisica, ma anche quella emotiva oltre che spirituale, il testo si rivela una guida potente per ispirare e accompagnare chi si ritrova per una selva oscura a effettuare un totale cambio di paradigma.

The dilemma of how to be emotionally dependent on another without losing oneself underlies many issues that couples bring to therapy and is the stuff of many love songs. Its management results in different dynamics, which the chapters of this book identify. A psychoanalytic understanding of the connections between early, primary relationships and those formed in adulthood sheds light on the experiences of couples, whether or not they enter therapy. Written in an accessible and relatable style, Perrine Moran brings psychoanalytic concepts to couple relationships through the medium of music. In her clinical work as a couple therapist, she often found herself thinking of a specific song that encapsulated something at the core of a couple. At other times, a song came to mind that captured a pattern repeated in a number of couples. Intrigued, Moran began to explore in depth the link between love songs and couples. The result is a book that focuses on different types of couple dynamics, such as disappointment, enmeshment, and difference, and the songs and case vignettes that best illustrate them. Love Songs: Listening to Couples is ideal for practitioners and trainees working with couples and will appeal to a wide range of readers who enjoy popular music and are curious, for personal, academic or professional reasons, about couple dynamics and problematic interactions.

Originally published in 1992 in French as Peter Pan ou lEnfant Triste, the book was translated into English in 1997 and released as Peter Pan: The Story of Lost Childhood. This new English language version is translated by author Kathleen Kelley-Laine and enriched with the addition of an epilogue from the author plus a new foreword from renowned psychoanalyst Jonathan Sklar. Peter Pan, "young innocent and heartless", with his baby tooth smile is one of the most popular heroes of fiction of both children and adults for over one hundred years. The author explores this mythical figure, both as a story as well as a metaphor, revealing the hidden traumas and psychological conundrums of this "Lost Child". The evocative and lyrical style takes the reader through multiple levels of understanding of this seemingly simple "fairy tale", into the tragic story of its author J. M. Barrie and of other Peter Pans who never grow up. In Peter Pan, the Lost Child, psychoanalyst Kathleen Kelley-Laine explores Peter Pans light-hearted escapades and uncovers a sad, lost child behind the baby tooth smile. She uses the story as a framework for the stories of her patients to show how their own Peter Pan manifests, giving a unique insight into how childhood events can block growth into adulthood. She also investigates the sinister side of author James Mathew Barrie as it relates to his Peter Pan tale, and addresses her own family history and its links to The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up. Little by little, as the book progresses, Kelley-Laines lost childhood emerges as a child who fled with her family from war-torn Hungary after the Second World War to the promised land of Canada. These three interwoven storylines take the reader on a literary journey to uncover secrets and hidden emotions. Kelley-Laine makes clear that the child who cannot grow up, the Peter Pan raging inside the adult, needs to be heard and understood. Only then can that lost child have a chance to find the road to maturity.

It is important to point out that these essays are about character types; it is not to suggest that all borderlines, narcissists or manic depressives are the same. Everyone is an individual and are who they are for many different reasons. What they have in common is a typical relation between their subjectivity and the world they inhabit. In other words, Christopher Bollas has identified the axioms that these individuals share. Following a discussion of the features of each type, the axioms are delivered in the characters own voice. By placing ourselves within their own logic, we can begin to identify and empathise with them. At the root of all character disorders there is mental pain and each disorder is an intelligent attempt to solve an existential problem. If the clinician can grasp their specific intelligence and help the analysand to understand this, then a natural process of healing can begin. Three Characters is a masterclass based on decades of lectures presented to psychoanalysts, analytical psychologists, and psychotherapists, and is a must-read for all psychoanalytic enthusiasts.
