  • Taylor & Francis Masculine Shame From Succubus to the Eternal

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book explores the idea that the image of the succubus, a demonic female creature said to emasculate men and murder mothers and infants, has been created out of the masculine projection of shame and looks at how the transformation of this image can be traced through Western history, mythology, and Judeo-Christian literature.Trade Review"This book is worth reading for chapter 7 alone, which is perhaps the most beautifully written and most psychologically-minded account that I have yet read of how an infant develops a sense of self and identity through processes of early attachment, recognition, empathic mirroring and individuation... I would highly recommend this book, as I have said, for the brilliance of chapter 7 and also because the succubus is a neglected aspect of our study of gender issues that Ayers passionately and articulately brings to life." - Martin Seager, International Journal of Jungian Studies, March 2012"This book is part of the movement to save humanity from a warrior code of masculinity that belongs in a former era. I highly recommend it to all students of gender, religion, the arts, myth, ecology, and depth psychology." - Susan Rowland, Journal of Jungian Scholarly Studies, Vol. 7, No. 5, 2012 Table of ContentsPreface. Part I: The Birth of Civilization and the Evolution of the Succubus. The Succubus, the Evil Eye and Shame. The Historic Unfolding of the Image of the Succubus.

    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'... I believe the essays in this book have much to contribute to the interface between Jungian concepts and the practice, appreciation and assessment of the creative arts."- Mary Dougherty, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Vol. 54, No. 4, 2009Table of ContentsRowland, Introduction.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Primordial Mind in Health and Illness

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe universal quest to create cosmologies to comprehend the relationship between mind and world - is inevitably limited by the social, cultural and historical perspective of the observer, in this instance western psychoanalysis. In this book Michael Robbins attempts to transcend such contextual limitations by putting forward a primordial form of mental activity that co-exists alongside thought and is of equal importance in human affairs. This book challenges the western assumption that knowledge is synonymous with rational thought and that the aspect of mind that is not thought is immature, irrational, regressive and pathological. Robbins illustrates the central role of primordial mental activity in spiritual cultures analogous to that of thought in western culture as well as its significant contributions to numerous other phenomena including dreaming, language, creativity, shamanism and psychosis.In addition to his extensive clinical experience as a psychoanalyst RobTrade Review"This book offers an unusual and very valuable perspective on the deeper layers of the unconscious mind. Michael Robbins’ wide-ranging and engaging approach offers many fascinating and thought-provoking ideas that cut across theoretical divisions, making his work of interest to all in the field of ‘depth psychology’. I have found the idea of ‘primary mental activity’ useful in my own clinical work, as well as with students and supervisees who were keen to learn more about it." - Warren Colman, Jungian Psychoanalyst, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Analytical Psychology"Michael Robbins has come up with a remarkable and innovative new concept, that of Primordial Mental Activity (PMA). His contribution is imaginative, creative, and fascinating, to say nothing of being useful in its application to psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as in its application to culture. In my opinion it is a most highly welcome conceptual addition to our thinking and clinical practice. I can tell how important his ideas are because I am putting them to use already. I highly recommend it." - James S. Grotstein, M.D., UCLA, California, USA"The number of psychoanalysts who have worked to integrate psychoanalytic and anthropological thinking can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand – Robert Paul, Waud Kracke, Elizabeth Spillius, Rosine Perelberg come to mind. These people were trained in both disciplines but Robbins is not a social anthropologist, as far as this reviewer is aware, which makes his achievement all the more impressive. He has not merely drawn links between the two disciplines but has explored each discipline in a good deal of depth in order to propose a model of mind applicable to both and characterised by primordial mental activity (PMA), although the outcomes of PMA in different cultures can vary greatly [...] Understanding this nonfigurative domain, and our relationship to it, heralds a form of integrative thinking that unsettles some of the sharp, categorical distinctions characteristic of western thought and the reader is left with a new orientation towards core mental activities and the nature of our relationship to them, for which Robbins' deserves our gratitude. This book merits being read and reread." - Paul Williams, Psychosis: Psychological, Social and Integrative Approaches, Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2012"The culmination of years of research, Robbins' book makes a compelling case for the existence of 'Primordal Mental Activity' (PMA) as a distinct form of mental functioning that is separate from and predates the development of rational thought in all persons." - John Merchant, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 57, 2012"This book offers an unusual and very valuable perspective on the deeper layers of the unconscious mind.
