Taylor & Francis Ltd Autism and Personality
Book SynopsisTaking a psychoanalytic and developmental approach, Autism and Personality outlines in considerable detail the new developments in therapeutic techniques used by the Tavistock Autism Team and Workshop to treat autistic children. It also underlines the importance of support for parents and siblings, who are all too often ignored under considerable stress. The book presents fresh ideas about the importance of personality for the developmental course of the condition, and the implications for psychotherapeutic technique. Using case vignettes to illustrate the theoretical ideas emerging from the Workshop, coupled with case studies which highlight the patient''s changing contact with the therapist, it gives a fascinating picture of the individuality of each child and of the sensitivity and skill required for each treatment. Accessible to professionals and also to parents, Autism and Personality is a valuable insight into the nature and course of this condition and Table of ContentsAlvarez, Reid, Introduction: Autism, Personality and the Family.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Analytic Freud Philosophy and Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisThis is a timely and stimulating collection of essays on the importance of Freudian thought for analytic philosophy, investigating its impact on mind, ethics, sexuality, religion and epistemology.Marking a clear departure from the long-standing debate over whether Freudian thought is scientific or not, The Analytic Freud expands the framework of philosophical inquiry, demonstrating how fertile and mutually enriching the relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis can be.The essays are divided into four clear sections, addressing the implications of Freud for philosophy of mind, ethics, sexuality and civilisation. The authors discuss the problems psychoanalysis poses for contemporary philosophy as well as what philosophy can learn from Freud''s legacy and undeniable influence. For instance, The Analytic Freud discusses the problems presented by pyschoanalytic theories of the mind for the philosophy of language; the issues which current theories of mind Table of ContentsContributors, Acknowledgements, Introduction: how right does psychoanalysis have to be?, PART I: Mind, 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Controversies in Analytical Psychology
Book SynopsisHow can controversy promote mutual respect in analytical psychology?Analytical psychology is a broad church, and influences areas such as literature, cultural studies, and religion. However, in common with psychoanalysis, there are many different schools of thought and practice which have resulted in divisions within the field. Controversies in Analytical Psychology picks up on these and explores many of the most hotly contested issues in and around analytical psychology.A group of leading international Jungian authors have contributed papers from contrasting perspectives on a series of key controversies. Some of these concern clinical issues such as what helps patients get better, or how closely analysts should work with the transference. Other contributions focus on the relationship between analytical psychology and other disciplines including evolutionary theory, linguistics, politics and religion.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychoanalysis as Therapy and Storytelling

Can telling ''stories'' help us to get at the truth?Psychoanalysis as Therapy and Storytelling examines psychoanalysis from two perspectives - as a cure for psychic suffering, and as a series of stories told between patient and analyst.Antonino Ferro uses numerous clinical examples to investigate how narration and interpretation are interconnected in the analytic session. He draws on and develops Bion''s theories to present a novel perspective on subjects such as: psychoanalysis as a particular form of literature sexuality as a narrative genre or dialect in the analyst''s consulting room delusion and hallucination acting out, the countertransference and the transgenerational field play: characters, narrations and interpretations.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Female Trickster
Book SynopsisThe Female Trickster presents a Post-Jungian postmodern perspective regarding the role of women in contemporary Western society by investigating the re-emergence of female trickster energy in all aspects of popular culture. Ricki Tannen explores the psychological aspects of what happened when women's imagination was legally and psychologically enclosed millennia ago and demonstrates how the re-emergence of Trickster energy through the female imagination has the radical potential to effect a transformation of western consciousness. Examples are drawn from a diverse range of sources, from Jane Austen, and female sleuth narratives, to Madonna and Sex and the City, illustrating how Trickster energy is used not to maintain power and control but to integrate and unite the paradoxical through humour. Subjects covered include: imagination and metaphor the traditional trickster law and the imagination humour: Eros using logos the poTrade Review"Reading this amazing book puts one at the heart of that rare event - a major, discernible shift in human culture and behaviour. The Female Trickster is a really new take on women in Western society." - Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex, UK "A stunning tour de force, The Female Trickster unites depth psychology, mythology, cultural theory, feminism, and literature in an incisive revelation of the feminine in a postmodern age. The analysis of the fictional female detective as trickster is a startling and valuable contribution to gender research. Tannen is to be congratulated on a book important for students of the humanities and clinicians alike." - Dr. Susan Rowland, University of Greenwich, UK "In this excellent and provocative book, Ricki Tannen displays creativity and a refreshing lack of inhibition in her criticism of traditional mores and exposure of the flaw in our cultures that do not recognise the female trickster...I have recommended this book to my colleagues and my patients." - Marilyn Newman Metzi, from PsycCRITIQUES Vol 52, December 2007 Table of ContentsPreface.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psyche and the Arts
Book SynopsisDoes art connect the individual psyche to history and culture?Psyche and the Arts challenges existing ideas about the relationship between Jung and art, and offers exciting new dimensions to key issues such as the role of image in popular culture, and the division of psyche and matter in art form. Divided into three sections - Getting into Art, Challenging the Critical Space and Interpreting Art in the World - the text shows how Jungian ideas can work with the arts to illuminate both psychological theory and aesthetic response. Psyche and the Arts offers new critical visions of literature, film, music, architecture and painting, as something alive in the experience of creators and audiences challenging previous Jungian criticism. This approach demonstrates Jung's own belief that art is a healing response to collective cultural norms.This diverse yet focused collection from international contributors invites the reader to Trade Review"This book contains a number of remarkable essays, including the introduction by editor Susan Rowland. These essays make important use of Jung's psychology in their exploration of the psychic interiority of art as well as offering a 'renewed and numious space for the making, appreciation and criticism of art in our time'...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rediscovering Psychoanalysis Thinking and Dreaming Learning and Forgetting New Library of Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2010 Haskell Norman Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Psychoanalysis!Rediscovering Psychoanalysis demonstrates how, by attending to one's own idiosyncratic ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to patients, the psychoanalyst can develop a style of his or her own, a way of practicing that is a living process originating, to a large degree, from the personality and experience of the analyst.This book approaches rediscovering psychoanalysis from four vantage points derived from the author's experience as a clinician, a supervisor, a teacher, and a reader of psychoanalysis. Thomas Ogden begins by presenting his experience of creating psychoanalysis freshly in the form of talking-as-dreaming in the analytic session; this is followed by an exploration of supervising and teaching psychoanalysis in a way that is distinctly one's own and unique to each supervisee and seminar group. Ogden goes on to rediscover psychoanalysiTrade Review"For a number of years now, Thomas Ogden's publications have become a genre of their own. With Rediscovering Psychoanalysis, Ogden has written a profound and significant work, one that heralds a new age of psychoanalytic thinking and psychoanalytic practice.It also alters our way of thinking of psychoanalysis itself...Ogden's style itself is worthy of a work of its own." - James S. Grotstein, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly"Thomas Ogden has deepened our understanding of how to make therapeutic use of strong emotional reactions to our patients as much as any contemporary psychoanalytic writer. Thomas Ogden's most recent book is an enjoyable work that is capable of affecting readers in both intellectually challenging and emotionally resonant ways. His writing has long been admired for its incisive and precise explication of topics such as projective identification and the "analytic third", and the reader gets a healthy dose of his theoretical style. There is also much fresh and playful prose that is highly authobiographical and contrasts substantially from his other work... Any serious psychoanalytic practitioner who has devoted time and effort to develop a solid understanding of the psychoanalytic process and has witnessed its power and complexity is likely to enjoy reading Ogden's latest work. Ogden has ventured into new territory in terms of the form of his writing and this is courageous and mostly successful. Most notably, we get more of a sense of the man who has contributed so much to the field he loves." - Michael C. Klein, Ph.D., Psychoanalytic Psychology"Thomas Ogden is one of the most creative psychoanalysts of our time. His work, papers and books are among the most quoted in the entire world. This book will be a study text for many psychoanalysts, clinical psychologists and psychotherapists, since it reveals him as an excellent teacher. He repeats his central concepts at key points, a didactic strategy which induces readers to think and rethink them in various contexts: analysis, supervision, teaching and writing." - Susan Rogers and David Rosenfeld, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina"Ogden manages as only few psychoanalytic authors can to summarize ideas in precise forms... Ogden repeatedly demonstrates his sensitive and superior clinical skills. Yet his way of writing is never intimidating, but inspiring. Finally, Ogden encourages his readers to think about psychoanalysis innovatively and rediscover it. Overall, reading this book is a pleasure and clinical enrichment at the same time." - Daniel Barth, Bulletin of the European Psychoanalytic Federation, Vol 63, 2009 "Thomas Ogden is at it again, bringing his unique blend of lucidity and imagination to the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. He is as adept at pushing analysis into new territory as he is at distilling the major concepts of psychoanalytic thinkers." - Ellen Y.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Doubt Conviction and the Analytic Process
Book SynopsisIn this profound and subtle study, a practising psychoanalyst explores the dynamics of the interaction between the patient and the analyst. Michael Feldman draws the reader into experiencing how the clinical interaction unfolds within a session. In doing so, he develops some of the implications of the important pioneering work of such analysts as Klein, Rosenfeld and Joseph, showing in fine detail some of the ways in which the patient feels driven to communicate to the analyst, not only in order to be understood by him, but also in order to affect him. The author''s detailed descriptions of the clinical process allow the reader to follow the actual process that enables the patient to get into contact with thoughts and feelings of which he or she was previously unconscious or only vaguely aware. Feldman makes the reader aware of the constant dynamic interaction between the patient and the analyst, each affecting the other. He shows how the analyst has to fTrade Review"Doubt Conviction and the Analytic Process is an impressive collection of thirteen clinical papers written by Michael Feldman...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Melanie Klein in Berlin
Book SynopsisIn this book Claudia Frank discusses how Melanie Klein began to develop her psychoanalysis of children. Melanie Klein in Berlin: Her First Psychoanalyses of Children offers a detailed comparative analysis of both published and unpublished material from the Melanie Klein Archives.By using previously unpublished studies, Frank demonstrates how Klein enriched the concept of negative transference and laid the basis for the innovations on both technique and theory that eventually led not only to changes in child analysis, but also to changes in the analysis of adults. Frank also uncovers the influence that this had on Klein''s later theories of the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, and on her understanding of psychotic anxieties.The first seven chapters in the book provide an explanation of the essence of Klein''s approach to child psychoanalysis covering topics including:the inevitability and usefulness of neTrade Review‘This book is the work of a true scholar.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Seeing and Being Seen
Book SynopsisSeeing and Being Seen: Emerging from a Psychic Retreat examines the themes that surface when considering clinical situations where patients feel stuck and where a failure to develop impedes the progress of analysis. This book analyses the anxieties and challenges confronted by patients as they begin to emerge from the protection of psychic retreats. Divided into three parts, areas of discussion include: embarrassment, shame, and humiliation helplessness, power, and dominance mourning, melancholia, and the repetition compulsion. As well as offering fresh ideas, Steiner bases his creative and integrative efforts on previous contributions by psychoanalysts including Freud, Klein, Rosenfeld, and Bion. As such, this book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, clinical psychotherapists, and all those with an interest in the psychoanalytic field. Trade Review"After the great success of Psychic Retreats, published in 1993, the appearance of John Steiner’s second book is very much to be welcomed. In this book, based on nine papers published between 1996 and 2011, Steiner continues and develops his thinking on change and obstacles to change along a number of fertile lines. One of the hallmarks of his work is his experience near and humane approach, where the strengths and frailties of both patient and analyst in the psychoanalytic relationship are examined." -Jane Milton, International Journal of Psychoanalysis"John Steiner continues the explorations he began in his excellent Psychic Retreats. In the course of fulfilling his aims, he has also summed up and enriched contemporary insight into many other aspects of the work of psychoanalysis and has laid out a Kleinian approach to resistance that is up-to-date, inclusive, and detailed." - Roy Schafer, from the Foreword"In this book... Steiner has given us rich clinical insight, grounded in his highly sensitive understanding of what he might call the facts of life: the reality of time and loss, of our dependence on our objects, of need and power, and finally of death. Throughout the book Steiner presents clinical problems that are at once vexing and ordinary—and shows us his extraordinary capacity to not only theorize the problem at hand, but to look closely at his own involvement as perhaps a part of the problem he is trying to solve. In describing patients as they emerge from psychic retreats, he has given us a beautiful testimony to the reality of doing analytic work—its strains, pitfalls, and possibilities." - Lynne Zeavin, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2012 "I found Seeing and Being Seen to be enormously useful, both theoretically and clinically. ... Most important, I found as I read this collection of essays, helped along especially by Steiner’s always vivid clinical examples, that I was frequently seeing my own clinical experiences in a new or different light, with possibilities opened up for movement and growth. It is hard to ask for more than this from a psychoanalytic book." - Jean Roiphe, Psychoanalytic Quarterly, October 2012, Vol. 81, No. 4"John Steiner continues the explorations he began in his excellent Psychic Retreats. In the course of fulfilling his aims, he has also summed up and enriched contemporary insight into many other aspects of the work of psychoanalysis and has laid out a Kleinian approach to resistance that is up-to-date, inclusive, and detailed." - Roy Schafer, from the Foreword"In this book... Steiner has given us rich clinical insight, grounded in his highly sensitive understanding of what he might call the facts of life: the reality of time and loss, of our dependence on our objects, of need and power, and finally of death. Throughout the book Steiner presents clinical problems that are at once vexing and ordinary—and shows us his extraordinary capacity to not only theorize the problem at hand, but to look closely at his own involvement as perhaps a part of the problem he is trying to solve. In describing patients as they emerge from psychic retreats, he has given us a beautiful testimony to the reality of doing analytic work—its strains, pitfalls, and possibilities." - Lynne Zeavin, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2012 "I found Seeing and Being Seen to be enormously useful, both theoretically and clinically. ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Loneliness and Longing
Book SynopsisWe all experience loneliness at some time in our lives and it often motivates people, consciously or otherwise, to enter treatment. Yet it is rarely explicitly addressed in psychoanalytic literature. Loneliness and Longing rectifies this oversight by thoroughly exploring this painful psychological state. In this book contributors address the inner sense of loneliness that is feeling alone even in the company of others by drawing on different aspects of loneliness and longing. Topics covered include: loneliness in the consulting room the relationship between loneliness and love the effects of social networking and the internet how loneliness changes throughout the life-cycle healing the analyst's loneliness. Loneliness and Longing draws on both theory and practice to discuss ways to help people to understand and cope with this important emotional state, encouraging them to make loneliness and Trade Review"A fascinating, original contribution to a neglected area in the psychoanalytic literature, with wide and deep ramifications. As a psychoanalytic treatment of an everyday human experience, it represents a genre of which I would like to see more. Psychoanalysis can only benefit by leaving the ivory tower of metapsychology and descending into the hurly burly of quotidian life in a way which enriches our understanding of familiar human dilemmas." Karl Loszak, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice, Toronto, Canada"It is impossible to do justice to the book's riches in a brief review... Psychotherapy and counselling can be lonely activities but, through reading this book, I feel less lonely and more connected to a community oflike-minded colleagues. The book is a valuable resource for psychodynamic practitioners, those who include psychodynamic elements within their integration, and all those interested in a relational way of working and who are not afraid to go into the depths both of their own and their clients' experience. I will return to this book again and again." - Els van Ooijen, Therapy Today, April 2012Table of ContentsBohm, Introduction.

Book SynopsisThomas H. Ogden is the winner of the 2004 International Journal of Psychoanalysis Award for the Most Important Paper of the year and the 2010 Haskell Norman Prize an international award for outstanding achievement as a psychoanalytic clinician, teacher and theoretician.Thomas Ogden is internationally recognized as one of the most creative analytic thinkers writing today. In this book he brings his original analytic ideas to life by means of his own method of closely reading major analytic works. He reads watershed papers in a way that does not simply cast new and discerning light on the works he is discussing, but introduces his own thinking regarding the ideas being discussed in the texts. Ogden offers expanded understandings of some of the most fundamental concepts constituting psychoanalytic theory and practice. He does so by finding in each of the articles he discusses much that the author knew, but did not know that he or she knew. An examplTrade Review"Ogden succeeds beautifully in finding in texts by Sigmund Freud, Susan Isaacs, W. R. D. Fairbairn, Donald Winnicott, Wilfred Bion, Hans Loewald, and Harold Searles more than what was there before he read them. He shows us how in the process of reading their words and sentences creatively, we, readers, not only discover new meanings to these words and sentences, but, most importantly, we are changed in the process of discovering them." - Mufid James Hannush, Journal of Phenomenological Psychology, 43, 2012"[Ogden] invites us to pay particular attention to something obvious and that perhaps we all do, consciously or preconsciously when we read any author: that is, to attend carefully to our own reading of the text and the relationship we establish with the work and the ideas it elicits in us as active readers. In this sense, this book is not only interesting, stimulation and enriching for the papers that Ogden has commented on, but also for the invitation he makes to all of us to pay attention to what we do when we read. I do recommend it highly." - Carlos Fishman, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, September 2013Ogden's latest book, Creative Readings: Essay on Seminal Analytic Works, leads the reader straight to experience one of the main features of the psychoanalytic process, which in this case is applied to written text. Ogden achieved remarkable prominence in the art of analytic writing and supervising, to which he applied his fresh and lively style that allows new understandings to be discovered. His work is never stilted and is usually captivating and evocative. Through the deep affective resonance of the text, new meanings are brought forward and fresh understandings can take place within the reader's inner world. - Moscato & Solano, Psychoanalytic Psychology, Vol. 30 No. 3 2013"Ogden succeeds beautifully in finding in texts by Sigmund Freud, Susan Isaacs, W.

The present volume extends that project in a frankly didactic direction as he offers the reader the product of his close readings of the work of important historical figures, from Freud through Bion to Searles, centering his attention on such matters as the Oedipus complex, the role of fantasy in mental function, and the niceties of transference-countertransference interaction."

Penguin Publishing Group A Primer of Jungian Psychology
Book SynopsisThe contributions of Carl Jung to understanding of the human psyche are immense. Starting as Freud's most famous disciple, Jung soon broke away from his mentor to follow his own lines of investigation and discovery. Many of Jung's ideas are now considered fundamentals in the study of the mind, but other, more controversial theories dealing with the psychological relevance of alchemy, ESP, astrology, and occultism are only now being seriously examined. This condensation and summary of Jung's life and work by two eminent psychology professors is written with deep understanding and extraordinary clarity and, along with its companion volume, A Primer Of Jungian Psychology is essential reading for anyone interested in the hidden depths of the mind.
