Other Press LLC Lacan Today: Psychoanalysis, Science, Religon
Book SynopsisLacan Today: Psychoanalysis, Science, Religion offers a lucid overview of the French psychoanalyst''s work. In five sections--'The Structure of the Subject,' 'Epistemology,' 'Four Discourses,' 'There is No Sexual Rapport,' and 'God is Real,'--the book maps out Lacan''s thought for the lay reader with unmatched clarity. It does this by building from Lacan''s graph and formulas, which are often misunderstood. This formalization acts as a pedagogical tool of wonderful economy, offering a broad overview without neglecting the essential details. The chapters are summarized by a general graph that visually demonstrates Lacan''s rigor and coherence.The book examines often-neglected aspects of Lacan''s work, like problems in the history of science, epistemology, and religion, in order to show Lacan''s relevance to today''s world. It makes the case for Lacan as one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, whose reach extends beyond the discipline of psychoanalysis. Indeed, Lacan''s thought should lead readers into a reexamination of philosophy, literature, art, politics, economy, and desire.In his introduction, Alexandre Leupin writes: 'If the unconscious exists, then Lacan is the only twentieth-century thinker who has drawn the consequences of Freud''s discovery to their ultimate limits. I propose here what some will take as bombastic hyperbole: Lacan''s radical reevaluation of human thinking is comparable to Einstein''s.'Though Lacan''s thought is making tremendous inroads in countries of Latin culture, it has been slowly fading from public awareness in the English-speaking world. Often Lacan has been nothing more than a pawn in the bundling of contradictory doctrines labeled as 'French thought'; or he has been reduced to a means of exchange between psychoanalysts or specialists in the humanities. Leupin''s contention is that what Lacan said or wrote is of interest to the general public and that his consignment to oblivion is reversible. This book demonstrates that Lacan''s thinking has vast implications, not only for college professors or practicing psychoanalysts, but also for scientists, epistemologists, and every man and woman.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Invitation to Psychodynamic Psychology
Book SynopsisThis work introduces the basic assumptions and concepts of psychodynamic psychology. Since the term "psychodynamic" can be applied to a number of diverse schools of thought, the book stresses the commonalities across the various schools rather than exposing in detail the differences between the theories. No prior knowledge of psychoanalytic ideas is assumed in the book. By asking and answering a number of commonly posed questions, the author aims to introduce psychoanalytic ideas by showing their relevance to understanding ourselves and our interactions with others. The book's most important message is that psychoanalytic ideas are accessible and enlightening, though it also discusses some of the limitations and problems of the theory and its applications.Table of ContentsPart One Psychoanalytic Theory of Personality. Part Two The unconscious. Part Three Love and Relationships. Part Four Psychic Pain and psychic Change.

Seagull Books London Ltd Enacting Pleasure: Artists and Scholars Respond
Book SynopsisIn her book "In a Different Voice", psychologist Carol Gilligan proffered the controversial idea that a psychology of male development could not suffice as a psychology of all human development, both male and female. Since the publication of that revolutionary book and her later work "The Birth of Pleasure: A New Map of Love", which argued that the pleasure of love is a common human denominator often repressed in a hierarchical culture, Gilligan has been recognized by some scholars as a pioneer of feminist thought and vilified by others as an essentialist and a proponent of gender difference. In "Enacting Pleasure", a distinguished group of artists and scholars explores the personal and political implications of Gilligan's account of pleasure and the human psyche. The contributors to this volume come to Gilligan's work with a wide range of perspectives - from those who view her ideas as Eurocentric, heterocentric, Freudian, or anti-Freudian to others who see it as among the most advanced theories in neuroscience and human biology, as well as a blueprint for progressive politics. As a whole, this diverse collection stands as a meditation on the role that love plays in psychology, art, and politics.

Lawrence & Wishart Ltd The Currency of Desire: Libidinal Economy,
Book SynopsisMetaphors of money have shaped theories of sexual psychology ever since Enlightenment doctors explained the mind-body as an 'animal economy' whose currency was desire, figured as a liquid form of energy that could be spent or saved, profitably invested or pleasurably squandered.In this erudite and groundbreaking book, David Bennett explores the power of economic language to mould both scientific and popular thinking about desire from the eighteenth century to the present, on topics as disparate as onanism and advertising, psychoanalysis and shopping, Christianity and communism, prostitution and revolution.The Currency of Desire combines intellectual history with modern critical theory to shed new light on the interactions between money and desire, homo oeconomicus and homo psychologicus.Trade Review'As copiously erudite as it is intellectually ambitious, The Currency of Desire explores the long history of the "libidinal economy" as a potent, figurative force that plays at the intersection between economic rationality and psychic life - interest and identity, profit and loss, saving and spending. Metaphors are "symptoms" of survival, Bennett lucidly argues, in a striking narrative that explores the on-going struggle between economic rationality and erotic energy.' (Professor Homi K. Bhabha, Director of the Humanities Centre, Harvard University) 'It is an irresistible coupling: money and sex. David Bennett's new book displays his extraordinary erudition, which he presents with both eloquence and punch. A great read!' (Professor Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London, author of The Story of Pain (2015) 'Love or money, lust or labour power - what is it that makes the world go round? In The Currency of Desire, David Bennett offers a rich history of experiments in thinking and living according to models of monetary or libidinal circulation - from Marx to Freud, and from the early Soviet Union to nineteenth-century New England. If sexuality is like a primum mobile for the movements of subjective life, then how is this related to broader urges to spend or save, to put out or hold back, for individuals and for larger societies of every kind? Highly charged reading.' (Professor Rachel Bowlby, University College London, author of Everyday Stories) 'David Bennett's ambitious survey of the political, economic and psychic currency of desire - whether for physical pleasure or, its substitute, money - is a masterpiece of historical and psychoanalytic scholarship. Always eloquent and accessible, The Currency of Desire take us on a truly transdisciplinary journey, critically analysing every theoretical bump and twist in the economies of desire over the last 300 years of European history, taking us right up to the present moments of libidinally invested "saving", "investing" and "spending", now increasingly divorced from guilt, shame and, some might say, pleasure. A quite remarkable endeavour.' (Professor Lynne Segal, Birkbeck, University of London, author of Out of Time (2013)Table of ContentsAcknowledgements1.

Lawrence & Wishart Ltd Seductions and Enigmas: Laplanche, Theory, Culture
Book SynopsisIn a career spanning more than five decades the distinguished French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche (1924 - 2012) elaborated a distinctive methodology for the reading of Freud's corpus and evolved, in connection with it, a radical new metapsychology - one that critically recast Freud's early 'seduction' theory of trauma and placed at the heart of psychic life a particular model of 'enigmatic signification'. Seductions and Enigmas is a volume dedicated to the implications of Laplanche's thought for reading and interpretation. It collects papers that elaborate Laplanche's unique method for the interpretation of Freud, with its attention to the decentering and recentering movements of thought that structure the psychoanalytic field, and explore how the metapsychological developments arising from the implementation of that method open up new horizons for the psychoanalytic reading of other texts and oeuvres in the cultural domain. The volume comprises essays by Laplanche as well as by clinicians and scholars whose work takes inspiration from his research. Authors variously establish, develop or consolidate Laplanche's critical methodology as such, or work through aspects of his major theoretical innovations as points of departure for the reading of cultural works of different kinds: fiction, drama, painting, visual and sound installations, and film. These theoretical innovations cover a breadth of topics including seduction, sublimation, gender, femininity, the functions of binding and unbinding, masochism and the role of the enigmatic. In their range, the texts brought together here are a testament to the vitality and fertility of Laplanche's theoretical endeavour, for anyone concerned with the re-reading of Freud or with continuing to recalibrate and advance the parameters of critical interpretation in light of Freud's legacy.Trade ReviewThis superb collection will be essential reading on Jean Laplanche, both for his analysis of Freud on interpretation, and for Laplanche's centrally important idea of seduction as 'the other in me'. New insights emerge in the exploration of its significance for understanding sexuality and gender, and for our experience of cultural works and their impact as 'enigmatic messages'. Elizabeth Cowie, Professor of Film Studies University of Kent This collection of important papers advances the vital project of bringing Laplanche's originality to the attention of Anglophone readers. What Laplanche offers to both clinicians and cultural critics is an account of interpretation that locates alterity and constitutive opacity at the heart of human relations. Happily this book is not opaque but admirably lucid in its exposition of key concepts and their potential for illuminating a range of aesthetic forms and cultural formations. Seductions and Enigmas is an extremely useful book.

Free Association Books Freud's Scientific Revolution: A Reading of His
Book SynopsisOriginally published in Hebrew, this book presents the first thorough analysis of Freud’s Project for a Scientific Psychology for Neurologists while relating to all its strata (evolutionary, physiological, psychological and linguistic) and deciphering their complex integration. Its conclusions challenge the accepted literature by presenting a re-evaluation of the text’s place in the Freudian revolution. Dr. Saul Haimovich, the author of this uncompromising book, provides the reader with a richer and more intellectually stimulating framework than previously available for the interpretation of Freud's work. The book’s importance, the outcome of a meticulous reading of Freud's early work, lies in the author's description of Freud's efforts to develop a new scientific paradigm, rooted in his understanding that the mind-body problem and the concept 'psyche' lack content. Together with his Freud and Psychiatry (2010), the book marks a further step in the author’s over-arching program, having two aims: The first, an analysis of the epistemic (theoretical, technical) and institutional foundations of Freud’s commonly accepted model for research and treatment, grounded in the analysand's associations; the second, ultimately replacing that model with Freud's original method, based on study of the analyst’s associations and self-analysis as applied in the Traumdeutung. Intended for psychoanalysts, philosophers of science, literary critics, Freudians, anti-Freudians, as well as the interested lay reader, this book provides fascinating insights into Freud’s early work and its implications for psychoanalysis and its history.

Free Association Books The Traumatic Loneliness of Children
Book SynopsisThe common, existing distance between children and adults is the basis of this work, which has been addressed in many literary and cultural works throughout history. Not being able to remember how we, now adults, thought as children -like their spontaneity or magic and omnipotent form of thinking- would leave children completely isolated, like a helpless immigrant in a foreign land. This book attempts to comprehend, how parents' misunderstanding, can induce loneliness and helplessness in children, that with time will become traumatic, and will remain unconsciously present in all of us forever. It will continue to repeat using infantile emotions, children form of thinking, and experiencing as well, loneliness, anxiety, depression, fears and the chronic need of finding a 'rescuer', in the form of power, fame, drugs, money, religion, and so on. This very innovative approach to the understanding of children's segregation and its repercussion on adult's emotional life, will be of invaluable interest to all practicing psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and parents included.
