Book SynopsisAnthony Elliott is Director of the Hawke Research Institute and Research Professor of Sociology at the University of South Australia. A prominent social theorist, sociologist and public intellectual, he is the author and editor of 40 books, translated in over a dozen languages.Trade Review"Elliott's accessible prose and lively style combined with the huge breadth of his knowledge of the field make for a timely new edition of his widely read Psychoanalytic Theory: An Introduction. Elliott's focus is our complex subjectivity, understood both in terms of its personal location and those subjective phenomena which transcend the self. With coverage of new developments in psychoanalytic studies and additional profiles of figures such as Zizek and Butler, this book provides nourishing Bionic food for thought." - Paul Hoggett, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, University of the West of England, UK "This is an exceptionally lucid, learned and comprehensive examination of the richly diverse field of psychoanalysis in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Elliott makes the case for the continuing relevance of psychoanalysis to the humanities and social sciences by demonstrating the linkages between psyche, politics and culture in each major strand of psychoanalytic theory since Freud. A truly impressive achievement!" - Madelon M. Sprengnether, Regents Professor, Department of English, University of Minnesota, USATable of Contents1.

Palgrave Macmillan Diagnosis and the DSM A Critical Review Palgrave Pivot
Book SynopsisThis book provides a critical evaluation of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Starting from a historical overview of the evolution in psychiatric diagnosis, Vanheule asserts that the diagnostic reliability of the DSM-5 is overrated: important factors that undermine its diagnostic reliability have never been sufficiently addressed and the common idea that the handbook is reliable rests on a biased interpretation of statistical data. The book argues that the DSM-5 builds on a narrow biomedical approach to mental disorders that neglects context, and proposes its replacement with a contextualizing model of mental health symptoms. Drawing from phenomenological psychiatry and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the author concludes that a reflexive account of psychopathology is urgently needed.Trade Review“Vanheule’s book is of special importance for people working in the helping professions. In particular, it offers clinicians, educators and students in training – regardless of framework – ways of formulating the pressing presence of the medical model. … For those who are in any kind of psychotherapy-training programme, this book can offer a complex picture of current the idealisations at work around the clinical imagination in conversation with their historical, clinical and social aspects.” (Aziz Guzel, Psychodynamic Practice, March, 2017)“Stijn Vanheule’s book is very important and should be read by anyone who works with people with mental disorders such as psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers and care workers. It should also be read by anyone who is interested in studying the field of mental disorders such as researchers, academics and scholars.” (Rik Loose, Lacunae, Vol. 2 (1), 2014)Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Dantes The Divine
Book SynopsisDavid Dean Brockman connects spirituality with psychoanalysis throughout this book as he looks at Dante's early writings, his life story and his polysemous classical poem The Divine Comedy. Dante wanted to create a document that would educate the common man about his journey from brokenness to growth and a solid integration of body, self, and soul. This book draws the resemblance between Dante's poem and the journey that patients experience in psychoanalytic therapy. It will be the first total treatment of Dante's work in general, and The Divine Comedy in particular, using the psychoanalytic method.This fascinating study of Dante's The Divine Comedy will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists, as well as those still in training. Academics and students of psychology, spirituality, religion, and literature may also be interested in Brockman's in-depth study of Dante's work. Table of Contents1. Psychoanalysis and Spirituality: A Psychoanalytic View of Religious Conversion 2. A Precis of the Mourning Process in Dante’s Early Writings 3. A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Dante’s Commedia

Cambridge University Press The Late Sigmund Freud
Book SynopsisFreud is best remembered for two applied works on society, The Future of an Illusion and Civilization and its Discontents. Yet the works of the final period are routinely denigrated as merely supplemental to the earlier, more fundamental ''discoveries'' of the unconscious and dream interpretation. In fact, the ''cultural Freud'' is sometimes considered an embarrassment to psychoanalysis. Dufresne argues that the late Freud, as brilliant as ever, was actually revealing the true meaning of his life''s work. And so while The Future of an Illusion, Civilization and its Discontents, and his final work Moses and Monotheism may be embarrassing to some, they validate beliefs that Freud always held - including the psychobiology that provides the missing link between the individual psychology of the early period and the psychoanalysis of culture of the final period. The result is a lively, balanced, and scholarly defense of the late Freud that doubles as a major reassessment of psychoanalysis ofTrade Review'A superb book that will count among a handful of landmark works in the field of Freud Studies. Blending close readings of texts, a sustained attention to Freud's rhetoric, and rigorous historical-cum-biographical contextualization, Dufresne provides a major reassessment of Freud's late 'cultural' works.' Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen, University of Washington'Dufresne serves as a deft, surefooted guide into the dazzling dark continent of drives explored by Freud's later 'cultural' work. It is an intriguing journey.' Richard Kearney, Boston College'In this provocative and engaging study, Dufresne demonstrates the philosophical relevance of Sigmund Freud's late work – including The Future of an Illusion (1927), Civilization and its Discontents (1927), and the essays leading to Moses and Monotheism (1939) – as well as the strong link between Freud's cultural critique and his psychoanalytic theory.' Liliane Weissberg, University of Pennsylvania'This book will provide scholars of Freudian theory with useful and complex considerations of Freud's understanding of culture.' CHOICE'This book is must reading for anyone interested in the history and historiography of psychoanalysis … anyone interested in Freud's life and times will find this an extremely rewarding book.' Daniel Burston, PsycCRITIQUES'The author writes with great wit and impressive conviction; an astonishing wealth and density of his learning, research and extrapolations are on display in these pages … As a reviewer, one can offer no purer praise, perhaps, than to say that the book under review will be picked up again and consulted; and this one will.' David Matthew, Metapsychology Online Reviews (www.metapsychology.mentalhelp.net)'Dufresne's exploration of the key cultural texts mixes a critical reading, intellectual history and biography.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) iek and his Contemporaries
Book SynopsisThe popularity of the inimitable Slavoj Zizek has perhaps cast a shadow over the collective influence exerted by Slovenian intellectuals on modern day philosophy. This book relocates Zizek as a thinker whose ideas are born of a specifically Slovenian context.Trade ReviewThis is a wonderfully informative book, a kind of "Once upon a Time, Ljubljana," in which elevated philosophical debates and emerging political and cultural realities keep crossing over into each other's frames. It tells the story -- not anecdotally, but analytically, with a wealth of theoretical sophistication -- of how, from the tiny country of Slovenia, Slavoj Žižek and his closest colleagues, Mladen Dolar and Alenka Zupancic, encouraged and inspired by a phalanx of talented artists and intellectuals, launched a distinctive school of thought (both Lacanian and Marxist) with universal appeal. The real accomplishment of the "back story" is that it sets this thought into relief; that is, it tarnishes neither its distinction nor its universality. -- Joan Copjec, Professor of Modern Culture and Media, Brown University, USAThis book is a long-awaited contextual account of the "Žižek-phenomenon", discussing its origins in the Slovenian School and beyond. Academically impeccable and eminently readable, with a bonus of three thoroughly enjoyable interviews. -- Fabio Vighi, School of European Languages, Translation and Politics, Cardiff University, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1.

Schore (1943).- Peter Fonagy (1952).- Conclusion.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Palombo, Bendicsen and Koch’s Guide to Psychoanalytic Developmental Theories offers a much-needed, comprehensive examination of the contributions of eighteen important psychoanalytic developmental theorists. Beginning with Freud’s foundational drive theory, the authors proceed to examine a range of psychoanalytic theories, including ego psychological, object relational, life cycle, interpersonal, self, and attachment. Chapters are well organized and they include not only the authors’ concise summaries of each theorist’s unique contribution, but in most instances, a clinical illustration derived from the theorist’s own published work. For interested readers, primary references highlighting the theorist’s original contributions, as well as a general bibliography are included at the conclusion of each chapter. This work, with its lucid descriptions of important developmental themes and careful attention to the unique features of each developmental theory, will prove a valuable resource not only for graduate students in the mental health professions, but also for postgraduate professionals."-Jerrold R. Brandell, Ph.D. Distinguished Professor, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI"The Guide is a respectful and loving homage to a century of great minds struggling to understand the complex problem of psychological development. It is a treasure trove of knowledge, which enlivens the human and theoretical history of psychoanalysis, making it accessible to a new generation of clinicians. Designed for the serious student, the Guide provides the commonalities and complexities of a spectrum of developmental theories. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail of the authors serve as a wonderful example to students that not everything can be grasped in sound bites and that careful and detailed scholarship can bring great rewards. The inclusion of attachment theory and their modern expressions in the work of Schore and Fonagy distinguish this book from others, adding the brain to the mind, and bringing us up to the present day." -Louis Cozolino, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Pepperdine University, CA"TheGuide to Psychoanalytic Developmental Theoriesis an invaluable resource for students, seasoned clinicians, and teachers of psychoanalytic ideas. The authors have assembled clear and succinct summaries of the prevailing developmental theories in psychoanalysis today. The inclusion of brief biographies of the theoreticians allows readers to understand the genesis of their ideas and to have an overview of some of the sociology of psychoanalytic theory. As a basic text, mental health practitioners can use this excellent work to compare and contrast different theoretical perspectives as well as to complement their psychoanalytic education. This work is an imperative addition to personal and reference libraries. Congratulations to the authors!" -David M. Terman, M.D. Director, Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis "Palombo, Bendicsen, and Koch are to be congratulated for their systematic, straightforward, and lucid presentation of the major concepts of key psychoanalytic developmental theories from Freud’s time to the present. Scholarly but accessible to readers who are not familiar with its content, this volume is enhanced by rich biographical profiles of each theorist, illustrative case examples, and the inclusion of a framework and questions that can be used to analyze and compare the different paradigms. This book is a valuable resource for teaching and should appeal to all those who are interested in learning about this vast body of knowledge." -Eda G.Goldstein, DSW, LCSW. Professor Emerita and Director of Post Masters Program in Advanced Clinical Practice New York University Silver School of Social Work"A major success is achieved by these authors, who conceptualize the array of complex notions/frameworks associated with major psychoanalytic developmental theories in a clear, concise, and comprehensive manner. Following a historical time line beginning with Sigmund Freud, the book chronicles the evolutionary processes related to the development of modern psychoanalytic thought. This book is important resource for new and sophisticated students of this invaluable tradition." -Jack C. Wall, Dean and Professor, Loyola University Chicago, School of Social Work “Palombo, Bendicsen, and Koch … here offer a useful guide inspired by the need to educate their students. … The conclusion … covers future hopes for neuroscience. The reader will find that the straightforward short descriptions explain complex theories with admirable clarity. … The present title deals more thoroughly with the details of each theorist, especially from a clinical US perspective, and will be a valuable resource for those interested in psychoanalysis and the history of ideas. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (R. H. Balsam, Choice, Vol. 47 (3), November, 2009) “Almost every teacher of psychology has had a student ask a question much like this one: ‘Why do we have to learn about Freud if he was wrong … ?’ In their book Guide to Psychoanalytic Developmental Theories, Joseph Palombo … and Barry J. Koch valiantly attempt to answer this question, and by most accounts they are very successful. … the book could also be helpful for students in other areas of psychology. … very useful to advanced students, practitioners, and teachers of psychoanalytic theory.” (Brien K.

Rowman & Littlefield Erik Eriksons Verbal Portraits
Book SynopsisIn his late teens and early twenties Erik H. Erikson, the widely acclaimed psychoanalyst and developmental theorist, aspired to be an artist. In Erik Erikson's Verbal Portraits: Luther, Gandhi, Einstein, Jesus, Donald Capps contends that Erikson's portraits of respective historical figures not only reflect his artistic gifts but also make a highly creative contribution to psychoanalytic discourse. Moreover, his verbal portraits are vivid and compelling representations of his multifaceted conception of identity. His emphasis on the formative role of the mutual recognition of mother and infant in human portraiture, the importance he attaches to the Self and the sense of I, and his use of psychoanalysis as a means to experience the living presence of noteworthy historical figures are especially noted. In addition to his portraits of the four men, his brief verbal portrait of Ruth Benedict is presented, and his personal identification with a fifteenth century painting of Mary, the mother oTrade ReviewCapps is on form. Much like Erikson’s work in his own time, Capps delivers a new way of looking at things ‘already familiar.’ Readers will not be disappointed. These beautiful and articulate depictions of Erikson’s verbal portraits give us a new way of looking at the ‘already familiar’ life and achievements of Erikson as a portraitist. I have never seen Erikson in this way before. I admire and deeply enjoy what this book accomplishes. -- Kate Miriam Loewenthal, emeritus, University of LondonErik Erikson put the word ‘identity’ on the map of modern vocabulary, in part because he had his own struggles with identity. Having given up his dream of becoming an artist, Erikson reclaimed this aspect of himself by means of ‘verbal portraits.’ In this remarkable book, Capps demonstrates the ongoing relevance of Erikson’s [portraits] of inspiring individuals and, in so doing, inspires us all. -- Nathan Carlin, PhD, University of Texas Medical School, HoustonDonald Capps does in this book for Erik Erikson what Erikson does in his quartet of 'verbal portraits.' He offers a way of looking at his subject that is richly illuminating because it is informed by his own longstanding personal engagement with one of the towering psychoanalysts of the mid-twentieth century. -- Peter L.
